Frontend Developer

About Tinybird

Building applications over large amounts of data is hard and, as the amount of data grows, it gets exponentially harder. Much more so if you want to exploit that data as it happens, in real-time, before the opportunity to make mission critical decisions disappears.

We created Tinybird to help Developers and Data teams do just that: building real-time data products at Scale. It can ingest millions of rows per second and serve low-latency, high-concurrency SQL based APIs. 

We are deeply focused on improving the developer experience with Tinybird. And because data won’t stop growing any time soon, on ensuring that any developer can build highly scalable data applications over any amount of Data. 

‍

Who are we?

We are a team of 12. We have a long experience of building and growing data intensive products and companies (and sometimes selling them). All of the founders have a technical background. We like simplicity and speed. And we believe that data-driven real-time applications have the potential to change entire industries.

We also firmly believe in equal opportunities and in a workplace which is safe, diverse, and inclusive. And that diversity will lead us to making better decisions and to creating a better organization.

What are we looking for?

We are looking for someone to help us with our product on the frontend side. Let us explain what we need from you:

• Strong experience building single-page applications, the language is not important. We use React today, but we are not tied to anything
• No fear of touching Python, Ruby or any other server language
• Data lover, because our decisions are based on data
• Ready to contribute in any part of the company: support, customer projects, blog posts,...
• SQL knowledge: not need to be an expert, but we use our product for taking decisions. Be ready to ask and answer questions with SQL
• Preferably located in EU

How would your day look like

I try to review what users have done with Tinybird the previous week, paying special attention to those features that we have launched recently, checking if they are working as we expected, and if they are understood as we designed them. 

Then I keep working on the issues related to the current milestone. Our product design approach is: someone proposes a solution to a problem, explains why it's important and describes how it would work. Then, everyone else asks questions and we decide if that makes sense or not. You'll be part of this, of course. But we don’t only work on new features. At this moment, almost the whole Product team is working on several issues we have identified thanks to our customers’ feedback.

We believe that support is as much part of the product and services as is the API, the UI, or the documentation. That is why we want to provide the best possible support to our customers, and why we alternate the support responsibility amongst all of us and each of us spends one-week turns as the Support Owner.

We use Basecamp for daily coordination and planning, GitLab for issue tracking and milestones, and Google Docs to discuss things like product decisions. There is always something to read and discuss.

We also take time to contribute to blog posts about how things work, product updates,.... It's hard to keep up with the pace, especially if we have a problem or an unexpected client request, but writing those helps us a lot.

Some bits about the way we work

• We are a fully remote company, and not just because of COVID19. All of our previous companies were remote friendly companies. 
• We give you up to 2400€ to get the right setup at home if you need it.
• We are just starting up so your work will impact everything we do. We also believe in full transparency and you will always know what is going on.
• No politics. 
  

Here you have our company principles.
