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 teams have 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.

Ideal Candidate

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 large technical projects.
• Are eager to learn from others and collaborative in helping others learn.

Interview Process

Our interview process includes:

• An initial discussion (30-45 mins) to ask questions about Count and for us to learn about your experience and interests.
• A working session with two engineers (90-120 mins), where we'll explore the stack and work through a recent technical challenge.
• A final meeting with our founders (45-60 mins).

The working session and final interview can be virtual or in London, depending on your location.

Life at Count

Count is a remote-first company, primarily based in the UK, with an office in London for meetings and collaboration. We welcome candidates from across Europe.

We prioritize work-life balance and offer a competitive package, including:

• Salary, pension, and share options
