About Tinybird

At Tinybird, we help developers and data teams take flight by unlocking the power of real-time data to build data products faster. With Tinybird, developers can easily ingest data from multiple sources, query it using the SQL they already know and love, and publish results as low-latency, high-concurrency APIs for their applications — all in minutes, not hours or days.

Our mission is to make real-time data accessible and actionable for every developer. Tinybird is loved by developers and trusted by data engineers at some of the world’s leading companies. We’re growing quickly and expanding our marketing team to amplify our reach and accelerate our demand engine.

What are we looking for?

Someone to define data architecture for some of our clients. We don't know exactly what's the perfect role name for this, so we prefer to explain what we need from you, so you can pick the right name just in case you don't like the one we've chosen.

Understand our client’s business goals and technical requirements, and turn complex problems into understandable, achievable solutions using Tinybird.
You will help and teach our customers to work in real-time at scale.
You will work on complex optimization problems to reduce latencies and to increase overall solution performance.
Develop quick prototypes to illustrate how certain things work or what is the best way to go about something. Writing efficient SQL is important here, our platform is heavily based on SQL.
In this company, everyone is part of the product team. While your focus might be on helping customers succeed, if the things you learn while helping customers don’t end up driving our roadmap, then we are doing something wrong.
You are located in the US.

Bonus Points: Experience working with ClickHouse, or other real-time data technologies.

A little more about what a typical day could look like

On a daily basis, you will be working with customers. You might be helping a new customer get started with Tinybird and guiding them on the best way to integrate Tinybird into their data stack. Or, you could be working on optimizing a use case for one of our most experienced clients. Many of our customers ingest billions of rows in real time and need to use that same data to make decisions in the same moment—for example, detecting fraudulent transactions or deciding what to offer someone based on their history and current browsing.

Here, you'll always have the opportunity to work with different types of clients and at various scales of data.

You’ll also collaborate with other teams. You might work with the product team to figure out the most effective way to solve a problem or ensure they understand what our customers are demanding. Or you might work with the sales-engineering team to hand over a customer or understand how you can help in a PoC.

If you enjoy challenges, are a constant learner, and like sharing your knowledge and helping others, then this is for you—apply now.

A bit more about the hiring process

We value your time so we try to simplify the process as much as possible. Every candidate will get an answer and we get in touch to let you know where you are in the process.

First contact meeting to introduce ourselves and get to know you.
You will have to solve a simple async test. There is no time limit (although we encourage you to not spend more than 2 hours). The aim is not to solve the problem but to see how you approach a problem and how you think about it - the reasoning is more important than the solution. The review of this is structured as a role-play where we are the customers and you the Tinybird data engineer.
If you succeed on the previous test you will have a second meeting with other members of the team.
And finally, we make you an offer.
