Metabase is the easiest way for people to get insights from their data, from tiny startups who get up and running quickly to major corporations with tens of thousands of users. We are an open-source business intelligence tool used by tens of thousands of companies globally. We bring data tools with the elegance and simplicity of consumer products to the crufty world of enterprise business intelligence.

Responsibilities:

* Deal with some of our trickier backend issues as they arise.
* Contribute to making Metabase a powerful, reliable, and easy-to-use tool for data analysis.

About You:
* Experience in Clojure (or a strong desire to learn). Our backend is primarily written in Clojure.
* Track record of shipping products of significant complexity.
* Solid CS background (acquired through either a CS program or shipping software in a production setting).
* Able to make good technical judgements and back them up articulately.
* Strong product sensibilities and deep care about the end user experience.

Nice to have:
* Experience with JDBC and database integrations.
* Experience and knowledge of the Java ecosystem and JVM tuning.
* History of open source contributions.
* Experience in JavaScript / Typescript (our frontend is in JS and TS).
* Familiarity with machine learning, compiler theory, and modern big data infrastructures.

Why Metabase?
* Work on a popular open-source project with a large user base.
* Tackle challenging technical problems related to data access, querying, and performance across various databases.
* Be part of a pragmatic engineering culture focused on building useful tools.
* Fully remote global team, asynchronous work style, flexibility, autonomy, and growth opportunities.

We're a global team (50% outside the US), fully distributed, who get things done asynchronously, with plenty of uninterrupted time, supporting each other to do the best work of our careers.
