The company operates as a globally-distributed, venture-backed team focused on empowering data teams to bring mission-critical analytics, AI, and software to life. This remote position offers competitive compensation, including a salary range of $180,000 - $210,000, plus equity.

The role provides an opportunity to work at the forefront of data orchestration technology, collaborating with core runtime, platform, and other product teams. You'll be contributing to a product that enables data orchestration for some of the largest companies globally, making a significant impact on the future of data infrastructure.
