About Monte Carlo

As businesses increasingly rely on data to power digital products and drive better decision-making, it’s mission-critical that this data is accurate and reliable. Monte Carlo, the data reliability company, is the creator of the industry's first end-to-end Data Observability platform. Named an Inc. Best Workplace for 2024, a DBTA Readers Choice for Best Data Observability Solution for 2024, a G2 Best Product for 2023, and the "New Relic for data" by Forbes, we've raised $236M from Accel, ICONIQ Growth, GGV Capital, Redpoint Ventures, IVP, and Salesforce Ventures. Monte Carlo works with data-driven companies like Fox, Pepsico, Amazon, American Airlines, and other leading enterprises to help them achieve trust in data.

About the role:

We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to take significant ownership in building Monte Carlo's cloud application for Data Observability. The role will involve end-to-end development: helping formulate usability requirements and designs, full production implementation, and operations. You will be collaborating with a small team of seasoned engineers, and your work will greatly impact our product and customers.

Location:

Anywhere in the Americas

Here’s what you’ll be doing:

  • Building production-grade backend services and APIs to delight customers

  • Owning major projects from inception to deployment, shipping at a rapid pace

  • Architecting simple yet flexible solutions, and then scaling them as we grow

  • Testing, releasing, and operating your code in production

  • Navigating with some ambiguity while solving problems and pursuing solutions to difficult challenges

We’re excited about you because:

  • You have 5+ years of experience delivering production-grade backend code, performing code reviews, and working on cloud, data, and web applications

  • You have strong Python skills (we use Django) or mastery of similar backend technologies in a large, complex codebase

  • You test your work (with automation) and follow traffic as customers use your features

  • You tech-lead critical projects or initiatives within your team and organization

  • You have experience in some of:

    • Serverless applications, especially with AWS and Lambda

    • Data-driven applications, with tools such as PySpark

    • The needs of data engineers and analytics teams, such as with Snowflake, Databricks, Airflow, dbt, or many similar tools (our customers)

    • Observability - a love of software APMs, debugging tools, and uptime metrics

  • You collaborate with your team in a remote-first environment

  • You get your urgency from user feedback and product vision

  • You're pragmatic and biased towards action; you're able to see the bigger picture and reason about prioritization and scope
