Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer (Console)

Materialize (Headquarters: NYC)

React TypeScript SQL Cloud Infrastructure Pulumi Python Data Visualization Databases Kubernetes Helm Rust Full Stack Engineer

Company Description:
Materialize is a real-time data integration platform that allows you to use SQL to transform, deliver, and act on fast-changing data. By performing incremental and consistent data transformations, Materialize makes live data accessible throughout your organization. Build operational data meshes, offload queries, join data sets, and act on the results before they move to colder storage for historical analysis. Our platform is trusted to deliver fresh, correct results for enterprise teams across industries, including Fubo.tv, Crane Worldwide Logistics, and General Mills. As a Series C company, Materialize has raised over $100 million in funding and we continue to have healthy runway. Our team spans the US (with a NYC headquarters), Canada, and EMEA.

About the Role:
As a full stack engineer on our Cloud team, you will be the primary owner of our best-in-class Console UI used for exploring, querying, and operating Materialize, and contributing to the infrastructure that powers it. In practice, that means you’ll spend ~80% of your time on frontend development—working primarily with React and TypeScript—to deliver an intuitive, powerful interface that helps customers manage their operational data. The other ~20% of your time will involve contributing to our cloud infrastructure working on everything from our infra-as-code stack (Pulumi/Python), to our billing pipeline, to observability infra, to CI/CD pipelines, to all of the other essential bits that make a managed cloud service go. This role will be based out of our NYC office (near Astor Place).

Responsibilities:
- Own and build the Console UI, ensuring it’s intuitive, performant, and enables users to quickly unlock the value of Materialize.
- Collaborate with product managers, designers, and database engineers to shape the product roadmap and user experience, ensuring that our UI & backend interactions are appropriately abstracted and well-designed.
- Contribute to the cloud infrastructure that powers our managed cloud service.
- Advocate for best practices in frontend development, testing, and continuous integration, raising the bar for code quality across the board.
- Troubleshoot and debug issues across the stack, whether they’re frontend quirks, network blips, or stuck CI/CD pipelines.

What we’re looking for / About You:
- 5+ years of experienced full stack software engineer with a strong background in frontend technologies (React, TypeScript, etc.) and familiarity with cloud infrastructure tooling (e.g. any infra-as-code tooling such as Terraform, Pulumi, or CDK).
- You are a generalist who is excited to work on problems up and down the stack and are always finding ways to have an impact anywhere in an organization.
- You are customer-centric and are motivated by delivering products and services that people love.
- You have excellent communication skills and enjoy cross-functional collaboration, whether with designers, product managers, or fellow engineers.
- You have a growth mindset, always looking to expand what you’re capable of.

Bonus Points:
- Experience with data visualization
- Familiarity with Python or Rust (for our non-frontend codebases)
- Knowledge of Kubernetes, Helm, or distributed system design patterns.
- Familiarity with working with databases, streaming data, or other operational workloads.
- Comfort working directly with prospects or customers to gather feedback.
- Available to join our (voluntary & compensated) on-call rotation
- You think databases are super cool
