Job Description

Quilt is continuous data delivery. We transform S3 into a collaborative data lake and data catalog. You will be a key member of Quilt's San Francisco based engineering team. We are a tight-knit team of computer scientists who take pride in what we build. We are looking for an experienced Cloud Engineer, with strong computer science fundamentals, to deliver high-quality, delightful features to our customers.

You have experience with the following platforms and technologies:

Python, including backend and web frameworks like Flask and Django

Blob Storage (i.e. S3, GCS, etc)

Enterprise software features (e.g. SSO, license management, IT configuration, and scripted deployment)

Open source - managing projects and releases; engaging contributors

Cloud-native and serverless applications

You use all of the following technologies (and have hacked the internals of one or more):

Version control systems, especially git

Distributed data

What we expect

Know your software engineering.

Experience with Python, and at least one systems programming language (C++, Java, or Go).

Be creative: you'll come up with new ideas based on your broad understanding of technological possibilities and city domain knowledge.

Solve problems, together.

Come up with novel solutions, working well with non-technologists and others.

Ask hard questions and challenge assumptions to ensure that we're solving the right problems.

Have the flexibility to work on the team's most pressing problems.

Care; about our customers, getting data infrastructure right, solving hard problems, and making our team successful.
