Preset is looking for a senior full stack engineer to help lead the next generation of our product and platform. This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives in complex systems, cares deeply about user experience, and wants to shape the future of open analytics.

• Build across the full stack
• Design and ship end-to-end product features spanning frontend, backend, and infrastructure
• Work deeply in the Superset ecosystem (React + Python + SQL + APIs)
• Improve performance, scalability, and reliability of user-facing workflows
• Own major technical initiatives
• Lead large projects such as semantic layer integrations, caching/performance improvements, embedded analytics experiences, or permissions modernization
• Drive technical planning, tradeoff discussions, and execution across teams
• Raise engineering standards
• Set best practices for code quality, testing, observability, and maintainability
• Mentor senior and junior engineers and strengthen team execution
• Collaborate cross-functionally
• Partner with product, design, and customer-facing teams to deliver impactful outcomes
• Work closely with open-source contributors and the Apache Superset community
• Shape the future of analytics + AI
• Build workflows that support AI-assisted analytics, LLM integrations, and next-generation BI experiences
• Help define what “modern analytics” looks like in an open ecosystem

Qualifications

• 6+ years of professional software engineering experience (or equivalent)
• Strong full stack background: modern frontend + backend + systems thinking
• Experience leading major initiatives in complex production environments

Requirements

• Deep knowledge of:
  • React + TypeScript (frontend architecture, performance, UX)
  • Python (backend development, APIs, services, async systems)
  • SQL and data-intensive applications
  • Comfort working in cloud-native environments (AWS, Kubernetes, Docker)
• You care about the user experience as much as the backend correctness
• You think in systems: reliability, scalability, operability, long-term evolution
• You thrive in ambiguity and enjoy turning messy problems into clear solutions
• Proven ability to mentor engineers and raise the bar across a team
• Strong communication and collaboration skills
• Ability to drive alignment without heavy process

Bonus Points

• Experience with BI tools: Superset, Looker, Tableau, PowerBI, Mode, etc.
• Familiarity with semantic layers: dbt, Cube, MetricFlow, etc.
• Open source experience (especially Apache ecosystem)
• Experience building embedded analytics or multi-tenant SaaS platforms
• Interest in AI/LLM-enabled developer and analytics workflows

Benefits

• Work on one of the most widely adopted open-source analytics platforms in the world
• Solve challenging problems at the intersection of data, product, and infrastructure
• Help define the future of open, composable BI (not closed dashboards)
• High autonomy, high trust engineering culture
• Opportunity to lead at Staff/Principal scope with real ownership
