Job description

About the company

the company is the leading product intelligence and analytics platform, trusted by more than 29,000 companies to help understand how people use the products they build. By combining powerful analytics with AI that knows your business, the company helps teams see what’s working, diagnose what’s not, and decide what to build next. Learn more at the company.com.

About The Role

Data governance is one of the most critical challenges for the company's enterprise customers, and the AI era turns it into a foundational problem. Analytics and agents are only as trustworthy as the data beneath them. Poor data quality compounds: incorrect analyses spread as it becomes easier for anyone — or any agent — to query data, and the problem multiplies as customers scale into projects with high-cardinality events and fast-growing user bases. A data foundation that stays clean, consistent, and trusted is what sets the company apart.

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Data Foundation team, you'll work across the stack to build high-impact features with extreme customer focus. You'll partner closely with engineers across the company, and with Design, Product, and GTM, to solve one of the hardest problems in analytics: keeping data clean, consistent, and trustworthy at scale.
