Layer is a collaborative and fully extensible data platform which makes data science accessible to companies of all sizes by enabling them to trust, collaborate on, and leverage their data for impactful insights and data driven business logic and decisions.
In order to make data driven decisions, you need to trust your data. And to trust your data, you need SSoT (Single Source of Truth) practice in your data organisation. Implementing this practice is only possible in a collaborative data platform, by building reliable, uniform and reusable/reproducible pipelines.
We are founded by a serial entrepreneur, who most recently sold his startup ($100M+ EBITDA run rate) and a partner at a top European VC. We are a team of ex-Google/Improbable/Palantir/Uber/Amazon/Revolut/Lightbend/HazelCast/DataRobot/Oaknorth AI engineers. We are at a very early stage with some pilot customers lined up and are well-funded.
We have an all-remote culture as we aspire to work with the best talent, no matter where they live. We hope to assemble a world-class team and hire about ~15 people in the next few months. Initially, we are looking to hire within the UTC to UTC+5 time zones but we are happy to make exceptions for truly exceptional candidates (if you are a Spark guru/committer, for instance) We pay competitive salaries (much higher than the average for such sized companies) and give stock options, among other perks.
Our tech stack is React/TypeScript on the frontend, Python/Django/GraphQL at the backend, Spark as the underlying computation engine -- we also use/love Terraform, Kubernetes, AWS. We are currently looking for experienced candidates for full-time roles (no part-time/hourly contractors please). Prior startup experience, being a prolific open source contributor, working at a data related software company (ETL/visualization/integration) are big pluses. No recruiters/agencies/outstaffing or outsourcing companies please.
