Why join Great Expectations?

Glad you asked! We offer…

• A world class team, with deep roots in open source, cutting-edge software and data development backed by some of the best open source and data infrastructure investors in the industry: Index, CRV, and Root Ventures. We are actively cultivating a new cultural blend of excellent data engineering and AI-enabled technical workflows.

• A fast-growing company with lots of opportunity for learning and personal growth.

• A front-row seat to the rapid evolution of data science and engineering. Data work is going through a renaissance, and—as the leading provider of a key piece in the new technology ecosystem—Great Expectations is right in the middle of it.

• A kind, curious, and open-minded company culture. We are always seeking ways to improve ourselves and our processes; we keep these conversations open to the whole team. We prioritize empowering our team members rather than a command and control hierarchy.

• A distributed team with lots of flexibility around timing and individual work preferences. We currently have teammates in Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin. We’d love to add your state.

• And of course, competitive compensation (base salary equity package) with available Medical, Dental, Vision and 401K with 5% employer match.

The salary range for this role is $167,500-$220,000 plus equity. Our offers are made by taking into account the skill level, experience and location of the specific candidate. In addition to our compensation package, we offer a competitive suite of benefits.

Strong candidates for this role will have already had experience with B2B SaaS development, including frequent server-side iteration and experimentation; frequent deployments to production through CI/CD; and rapid development cycles.

Great engineering is more than just technical proficiency. We expect everyone to bring good ideas and habits, so that they can contribute to a collective culture of best practices. The best candidate will have:

• A minimum eight (8) years work experience as a software engineer, including significant experience with data-centric systems, API development, and/or distributed architectures. More experienced candidates are also welcome to apply

• Strong expertise in both frontend and backend development, with experience developing in TypeScript, React, and Python in a professional context

• Significant experience building SaaS applications

• Demonstrated ability to estimate story points, prioritize tasks, set and meet sprint commitments, within an agile team and collaborate with a broader team

• Passion for hands-on work, and building the team as well as the product

• Robust grounding in principles of computer science and software design

• Technology in your heart, and a passion for continuous learning

• Strong communication skills—in writing, over Zoom, and on Slack

• Commitment to a culture of transparency, cooperation, and mutual support in the context of an entirely distributed team

It’d be nice if you also had:

• Experience with GraphQL via Apollo Client

• Proficiency working with at least cloud platform (AWS, Google Cloud Platform, etc.)

• Data in your blood; the more curiosity you have about a wide variety of data from all walks of life, the better
