Some of that is UNION, our data platform, where anyone in the company can query the lakehouse in plain language and stand up their own dashboards, applications, and agents. The rest is the applications behind decisions like which data centers get which hardware and when, for a company adding gigawatts of capacity a year. Engineering, finance, supply chain, and data center operations all depend on what we ship.About the role:You will ship features in UNION and in the applications teams run their processes on, working across the stack: TypeScript with React and Next.js in the browser, Python services running on Kubernetes, and the queries and data models underneath. Some of it is AI-facing, like the natural language interfaces and agents people use to ask questions against governed data.
