About The Position

We’re building the “Terraform for operators” — an AI‑generated schema layer driving a white‑labeled data warehouse that lets physical‑goods companies evolve their systems of record as fast as their business operations change. Think AI foundation models driving schema migrations, real-time observability across ops/finance data, complex git versioning of schema and data changes, and workflows you compose like infrastructure code.

Requirements

• Expertise building large scale ETL on databases like Postgres, Elasticsearch, DuckDB, Memgraph (Graph DB), etc
• Using cloud services to build + deploy reliable web applications
• Working in abstractions to build complex graph-based architectures that scale
• Team player : you bring positivity, openness, and curiosity to the team every day.
• Growth mindset : everything is an opportunity to learn and improve yourself, the team, and the company.
• Craftsmanship : you care about making something of quality.
• Pragmatic : you make the right decision based on circumstance, not theory.
• Low Ego: you work best in collaborative environments where everyone supports the team.

Responsibilities

• Design the core EAV data model & schema‑as‑code platform that powers every customer’s instance, balancing extreme flexibility with transactional integrity.
• Build a Git‑style version‑control + migration engine capable of rolling forward/back complex schema and data changes on live production tenants in enterprise settings.
• Engineer AI‑assisted tooling that uses foundation models to propose, validate, and apply new customer schemas and workflow definitions.
• Scale our white‑labeled data warehouse (BigQuery/Snowflake‐like) for high‑volume, low‑latency analytics and automation workloads.
• Create Terraform‑like declarative APIs & SDKs so ops teams can treat business processes as code while you ensure security, tenancy, and performance.
• Deliver end‑to‑end observability & search across supply‑chain, finance, and ops data—surfacing business logic in plain language through AI‐native search.
• Build Enterprise guard rails into a composable system to proactively detect anomalous behavior or risky emergent patterns
• Mentor and shape engineering culture, partnering with product and design to turn unsexy back‑office pain into elegant, resilient systems loved by operators.

Benefits

• Premium comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance.
• Unlimited PTO and mandatory US Holidays.
• 401(k), immediate eligibility.
• Fitness, commuter (BART/MUNI/CalTrain), and equipment stipends.
• Premier office space with snacks, drinks (caffeinated, carbonated, coffee), and guest appearances by Nicolas Cage.
• Lunch catered into office 4 days per week.
• Relocation assistance available.
• The salary range for this role is $180k-$230k.
• Strong equity component: we believe employees building Doss deserve ownership.
