What you need to have:

Our product is centered around lots of data being processed, ingested and read efficiently. The underlying systems need to provide capabilities update and ingest data on the order of billions of records on a daily basis. Complex analytics queries need to run on 10s of billions of rows where a single query that can potentially touch 100+ million rows needs to finish in interactive SLAs. All of this processing happens on data with several 100s of dimensions and tens of thousands of metrics.

This leads to a very interesting and challenging use case in the emerging field of large scale distributed HTAP, which is still not mature enough to provide a solution out of the box that works for our scale and SLAs. So, we are building a solution that can handle the complexity of our use case and scale to several trillions of rows. As a "Database Engineer", you will evolve, architect, build and scale the core data warehouse that sits at the heart of Clarisights enabling large scale distributed, interactive analytics on near realtime data.

What you'll do

- Understanding and gaining expertise in existing data warehouse.
- Use the above knowledge to identify gaps in the current system and formulate strategies around what can be done to fill them
- Avail KPIs around the data warehouse.
- Find solutions to evolve and scale the data warehouse. This will involve a lot of technical research, benchmarking and testing of existing and candidate replacement systems.
- Bulid from scratch all or parts of the data warehouse to improve the KPIs.
- Ensure the SLAs and SLOs of data warehouse, which will require assuming ownership and being oncall for the same.
- Gain deep understanding into Linux and understand concepts that drive performance characteristics like IO scheduling, paging, processing scheduling, CPU instruction pipelining etc.
- Adopt/build tooling and tune the systems to extract maximum performance out of the underlying hardware.
- Build wrappers/microservices for improving visibility, control, adoption and ease of use for the data warehouse.
- Build tooling and automation for monitoring, debugging and deployment of the warehouse.
- Contribute to open source database technologies that are used at or are potential candidates for use.

What you bring

We are looking for engineers with a strong passion for solving challenging engineering problems and a burning desire to learn and grow in a fast growing startup. This is not an easy gig, it will require strong technical chops and an insatiable curiosity to make things better. We need passionate and mature engineers who can do wonders with some mentoring and don't need to be managed.

- Distributed systems: You have a good understanding of general patterns of scaling and fault-tolerance in large scale distributed systems.
- Databases: You have a good understanding of database concepts like query optimization, indexing, transactions, sharding, replication etc.
- Data pipelines: You have a working knowledge of distributed data processing systems.
- Engineer at heart: You thrive on writing great code and have a strong appreciation for modular, testable and maintainable code, and make sure to document it. You have the ability to take new initiatives and questioning status quo.
- Passion & Drive to learn and excel: You believe in our vision. You drive the product for the better, always looking to improve things, and soon become the go-to person to talk to on something that you mastered along. You love dabbling in your own side-projects and learning new skills that are not necessarily part of your normal day job.
- Inquisitiveness: You are curious to know how different modules on our platform work. You are not afraid to venture into unknown territories of code. You ask questions.
- Ownership: You are your own manager. You have the ability to implement engineering tasks on your own without a need for micro-management and take responsibility for any task that has been assigned to you.
- Teamwork: You should be helpful and work well with teams. You’re probably someone who enjoys sharing knowledge with team-mates, asking for help when they need it.
- Open Source Contribution: Bonus.

We are building a workspace for Marketing teams - Think Webflow for Marketing teams, Grafana for Marketing teams who operate on large data sets and need a clear intuitive interface to look at all their data.

Traditionally Marketing teams have always had to depend on a large BI team to provide them with the data they need to make decisions. Clarisights eliminates this by giving Marketing teams everything they need in one intuitive, collaborative reporting platform.

We work with large enterprise Marketing teams around the world like Delivery Hero - The world's largest food delivery co., HelloFresh the world's largest mealkits delivery co. etc.

Our platform is central to how business teams make decisions and you will work on the interface that these teams use. We are helping non technical business users get comfortable with data by giving them a platform they can use to drive.

What makes this role challenging? Think Google Docs, Slides and Sheets all combined in one platform. We have a collaborative text editor which is used by teams together and we built our table grid which is extremely powerful. Tables, being one of the heaviest and most used widgets we have, have records composed of metric data(averages, share percentages, comparison data), multiple creatives(images, videos, gifs), trends(charts inside each cell) and a lot more.

The huge amount of data points naturally increases the amount of DOM nodes and thus it becomes memory heavy and CPU intensive to run the app in the browser. One table can have 500 records that the users can scroll through at once. Now imagine having 10+ of such tables in one tab, and each report comprising of multiple tabs. And we also support features like drilldowns/breakdowns, column freezing, row freezing, in the tables all while ensuring a smooth user experience.

We decided to build it from scratch using React Virtualize since most table libraries did not give us the performance or features we need. We also extensively use charts to visualize data and as we are scaling, a lot of these components have to be rebuilt to handle the volume of data we process.

We are only getting started, we want to make our platform a lot more collaborative and immersive by giving teams ability to interact with charts by adding annotations and ability to tag team members and leave notes for them. This might seem a solved problem when you look at collaboration on Google Docs but it's an extremely tricky problem for us as we don't deal with static data the way you have it with Google Docs.

Unlike read only dashboards which do not allow edits after building, our platform is meant for collaboration within teams. Think of how shitty collaboration was for design teams before Figma.

We are looking for someone who obsesses over performance and is comfortable with profiling performance, can think of frontend architecture. We are also looking for a lead who can mentor the team on performance and scale.

While working with such complex interfaces, often times, performance and the tech becomes a bottleneck for the user experience we strive for. We are looking for someone who —

• Understands fundamentals of Application Design and has designed/architected applications from scratch.
• Has worked on large-scale applications, and setup/maintained its data pipelines (data flows from backend to frontend)
• Has architected efficient and reusable front-end systems that drive complex web applications

• 3+ years of JavaScript experience, including concepts like asynchronous programming, closures, types.
• HTML/CSS experience, including concepts like layout, specificity, cross browser compatibility, and accessibility
• Experience with browser APIs and optimizing frontend performance
• Previous experience with dashboard apps, charts framework, window virtualisation
• Has written Generators for project setup
• Comfortable with tech like Postgres, Docker, Rails
• Understands tooling like Webpack, Babel

Experience with React and Typescript is preferable but not necessary.

• Understanding the data flow and familiarise oneself with the app components
• One feature/task like updating something that touches majority of the app — this is again aimed to get familiarity with the whole codebase in the quickest way
• Synchronising the data pipelines by adopting better serialisation protocols
• Creating avenues to improve app performance (by profiling and benchmarking)
