Description For Senior Software Engineer - Platform

Atlan, the world's first active metadata platform, is revolutionizing how organizations handle data chaos and collaboration. We're trusted by Fortune 500 leaders, hyper-growth startups, and industry giants like Cisco, Nasdaq, and HubSpot. As a Senior Software Engineer on our Platform team, you'll be at the forefront of building scalable systems that power enterprise-level data platforms.

You'll work on cutting-edge technologies, developing features for data collaboration, reporting, and machine learning capabilities. The role involves building and optimizing solutions like large-scale metadata graphs and OLAP-ready lakehouses. You'll collaborate with global teams, drive performance improvements, and ensure system security while mentoring junior engineers.

We're looking for someone with 5+ years of experience in distributed systems, strong technical proficiency in languages like Python, Java, or Go, and expertise in Kubernetes and cloud platforms. You'll join a fast-growing, fully remote company that's achieved 7X revenue growth in two years and is backed by top investors like Insight Partners.

At Atlan, we believe in empowering the humans of data. You'll have ownership from day one, limitless growth opportunities, and be part of a global data community. We're not just building software; we're transforming how data teams collaborate across industries from financial services to healthcare, making a real impact on how organizations use data to drive extraordinary outcomes.
