Our stack

There are a few unique aspects of our stack:

• Applications have direct access to customer databases, so security is extremely important, and we will invest more than the typical startup in this domain
• We use a single-tenant architecture (one separate infrastructure stack per customer), which means automating infrastructure is key to velocity
• we already run machine learning models (ML) in production for anomaly detection, and we’ll have to support more ML-based applications in the future
• We have a wide range of integrations with modern data stack tools from BI, orchestrators to data warehouses which means we use various APIs to build these heterogenous integrations.

We use state-of-the-art technologies to build our platform:

• Kubernetes (mainly AWS EKS clusters, with some GCP deployments too)
• Infrastructure as code with Terraform, applications deployed with Helm
• Applications written either in (modern) Java or Python, to tap into the huge data ecosystem offered by these languages.
• MySQL (running on AWS RDS) for databases
• Frontend is written in Typescript + VueJS
• and a few supporting services: Gitlab CI, Prometheus/Loki/Grafana…

A few projects you could be working on

• Build the design system in collaboration with the product design team
• Use open-source libraries such as d3js to build advanced and creative charts
• Work on optimizing the performance of the application, the build deployment and monitoring systems
• Bringing hundreds of delightful Figma designs into reality

Preferred qualification

• You have a BS/MS in a scientific field or equivalent experience.
• Strong knowledge of modern frontend frameworks such as Vue.js or React, Typescript, and testing frameworks (Cypress, Selenium, Mocha, Jest...)
• Strong understanding of RESTful APIs and how to consume them
• Experience building large scale frontend applications
• Effective communication skills: Regularly achieve consensus with peers, and clear status update
• You are creative, organized, self-motivated, and able to drive ambitious projects to success from conception through coding to deployment
• Great UX/UI sensibility and attention to detail.
• Comfort working in a highly agile, intensely iterative software development process

About Sifflet

We are building the world’s best data observability platform to help companies excel at data-driven decision-making. Today half of a data team’s time is spent troubleshooting data quality issues, Sifflet is putting an end to that. Our solution allows data engineers and data consumers to visualize how data flows between their services, define data quality checks, and quickly find the root cause of any data anomaly. Companies such as Datadog and New Relic have improved the productivity of infrastructure teams tenfold. Our goal is to bring the same benefits to data teams. In a few years, every data-driven company will be using a data observability solution, and we want to be the best solution on the market (and of course, we have plans to go well beyond simple “data observability”). We are backed by tier-1 investors and work with customers all across the globe. Our number of clients is growing steadily, and we need to expand our team! ‍
