Software Engineer - Observability Product
About The Position
We’re looking for a product-minded software engineer to join the team working on Dagster+, our hosted SaaS product, to help make Dagster the de facto cloud solution for organizations to build, manage, and leverage their data assets. In this role, you will drive improvements to Dagster’s backend system, underlying open source framework, and product UI to unlock new capabilities for our users. You will solve difficult technical problems throughout the software stack and work collaboratively with the rest of the team to plan and execute. You will instrument, monitor, debug, and optimize distributed systems from end to end. You’ll talk directly to our users (data engineers and platform owners) to understand how best to improve our product. This is a full-time, competitively paid position with benefits. We are a distributed team with offices in San Francisco, New York, and Minneapolis. We have team members all over the U.S. and we are hiring fully remote candidates in the U.S. Every employee is provided a remote work stipend to cover the cost of home office equipment and anything else that makes your remote work location comfortable, productive, or successful. And if you’d rather not work from home, we’ll cover the cost of a coworking or office space if you’re fully remote.
