Job description

About us

We are a fast-growing team on a mission to reimagine analytics and make data accessible to all.

The Count canvas combines the power of data notebooks with the collaborative workflow of digital whiteboards. We’re often referred to as the “Figma for data” because of the way Count transforms the way data teams work with the wider business through greater transparency and trust.

Since launching in September 2022 we have seen the canvas concept explode, with Count empowering some of Europe’s leading tech companies— including Cleo, BeautyPie, TooGoodToGo and Omnipresent— to revolutionise how their teams understand and work with data.

What you’ll do

We’re looking for an exceptional software engineer to help shape Count’s next stage of growth. You’ll own technical projects at the intersection of software development, data engineering, analytics and DevOps infrastructure, playing a key role in automating and scaling processes that empower every team across the organisation. Your responsibilities will include:

• Scaling our Go-To-Market (GTM) stack: Work closely with our GTM team to automate our go-to-market activities, by integrating our marketing, sales and finance tools with our CRM and product.
• Owning Count’s analytics: Develop and maintain our core data infrastructure and data models to ensure the marketing, customer success and product teamshave access to meaningful and accurate metrics.
• Driving operational efficiency via automation and AI: Build scalable processes powered by AI agents and automation tooling. Continuously remove manual intervention from workflows to drive outsized outcomes across the business.

We’d love to hear from you if you:

• Have at least 4 years of professional experience as a backend/platform engineer
• Have deep expertise in Python and building reliable data-focused backend services
• Have hands‐on experience with cloud infrastructure (GCP/AWS/Azure), infrastructure-as-code (Terraform), containerisation (Docker/k8s) and data pipelines (SQL, dbt, Airbyte)
• Love automation, process improvement and finding ways to help others work efficiently
• Are comfortable working autonomously and taking responsibility for the delivery of large technical projects
• Are eager to learn from others and collaborative in helping others learn

Our interview process will cover:

• An initial discussion (30 mins) for you to ask any questions you have about Count and for us to learn more about your experience and interests
• A working session with two engineers (90-120 mins), where we’ll dive into the stack and work with you through a technical challenge that we have faced recently
• A final meeting with our founders (45-60 mins)

The working session and final meeting will take place either virtually or in London, depending on where you’re based.

Life at Count

Count is a remote-first company. Most of our team is based in the UK and we use our office in London as base to meet and collaborate. However we believe great work can happen anywhere and we’re happy to consider candidates from elsewhere in Europe.

Our work is important to us, and we know we work best when we actively maintain a good work-life balance. We’re backed by some of Europe’s best investors allowing us to offer a competitive employment package. Some of the benefits of working at Count include:

• Competitive salary, pension and share options
• Flexible working hours
• 28 days of holiday (plus public holidays)
• Private health care
• Generous parental leave
• An annual working from home allowance and co-working budget
• Quarterly meetups with the team to relax and brainstorm, each time in a different city

We’re committed to building a diverse team. Whatever your race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status or disability, we want to hear from you.
