Software Engineer

At Tecton, we solve the complex data problems in production machine learning. Tecton’s feature platform makes it simple to activate data for smarter models and predictions, abstracting away the complex engineering to speed up innovation.

Tecton’s founders developed the first Feature Store when they created Uber’s Michelangelo ML platform, and we’re now bringing those same capabilities to every organization in the world.

Tecton is funded by Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, and Kleiner Perkins, along with strategic investments from Snowflake and Databricks. We have a fast-growing team that’s distributed around the world, with offices in San Francisco and New York City. Our team has years of experience building and operating business-critical machine learning systems at leading tech companies like Uber, Google, Meta, Airbnb, Lyft, and Twitter.

The Foundations team at Tecton is focused on creating building blocks that enable Tecton’s engineering organization to quickly ship high-quality software. Our focus spans a wide range of domains, from build systems and test infrastructure to the core frameworks and platforms that Tecton’s products are built upon. We collaborate across the engineering organization to identify friction points in building software at Tecton and build platforms, frameworks, and tools to solve them.

We are looking to bring on an Application Frameworks-focused engineer with experience building frameworks/platforms/infrastructure that abstract core technical challenges and enable other engineering teams to land product value more rapidly.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement frameworks, platforms, and services that provide foundational capabilities across Tecton (think: long-lived workflow management, application configuration, database migrations).

• Define and drive adoption of core technical standards across Tecton - refine how we use fundamental technologies (think: linters, dependency injection, logging).

• Collaborate across engineering teams to identify friction points and design solutions which both meet current needs and generalize to broader cross-team challenges.

• Collaborate with cross-functional partners like Security and Finance to help define how engineering tackles cross-cutting engagement points with those partners.

• Empower the organization to “shift left” development and testing through thoughtful test framework / test data management paradigms.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in designing, implementing, and maintaining software systems, with demonstrated expertise in building core platforms/frameworks that enable multiple other engineering teams.

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, and ability to write detailed technical specifications.

• Experience with at least one of AWS, GCP, or Azure (AWS experience strongly preferred).

• Experience with the following technologies is preferred / a bonus, but we don’t expect every candidate to have experience with them all: Python, Kotlin, Bazel, Kubernetes, gRPC, Postgres.

• Degree in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent practical experience.
