Job description

About us

We are a fast-growing team on a mission to reimagine analytics and make data accessible to all.

The Count canvas combines the power of data notebooks with the collaborative workflow of digital whiteboards. We’re often referred to as the “Figma for data” because of the way Count transforms the way data teams work with the wider business through greater transparency and trust.

Since launching in September 2022 we have seen the canvas concept explode, with Count empowering some of Europe’s leading tech companies— including Cleo, BeautyPie, TooGoodToGo and Omnipresent— to revolutionise how their teams understand and work with data.

What you'll do

We're looking for experienced software engineers who are interested in tackling deep technical challenges in data analytics. As an early hire, you’ll work closely with the founders on shaping the future direction for Count and be responsible for shipping entire features. Due to our small scale and flat structure, you’ll work autonomously on business critical projects, and collaborate with others throughout our team and user base.

Our application is predominantly implemented in TypeScript with Node on the backend and React on the frontend. In addition to these core technologies, our tech stack also includes Python, WebAssembly, WebGL, Apache Arrow, DuckDB, and Kubernetes.

For the best possible user experience, we have developed various technologies in-house, including a custom WebGL rendering engine, data visualization library, reactive SQL/Python notebook, and database query framework.

Some of the projects you could work on include:

• Expanding what users can do with AI agents for data exploration in canvases
• Adding new data sources (including non-SQL sources)
• Extending the interactivity and customizability of visualizations
• Improving the performance and/or reliability of DuckDB queries that run on our servers or in the browser
• Implementing a stateful backend for Python cells

We'd love to hear from you if you:

• Have at least 4 years of professional experience shipping features as a full-stack engineer
• Have experience working in a high-growth startup
• Love inventing solutions to complex technical challenges
• Are driven by a passion to create amazing user experiences
• Are comfortable working autonomously and taking responsibility for the delivery of large technical projects
• Are eager to learn from others and collaborative in helping others learn
• Want to shape the future of data analytics and visualization

Our interview process will cover:

1. An initial discussion (30-45 mins) for you to ask any questions you have about Count and for us to learn more about your experience and interests
2. A working session with two engineers (90-120 mins), where we'll dive into the stack and work with you through a technical challenge that we have faced recently
3. A final meeting with our founders (45-60 mins)

The working session and final meeting will take place either virtually or in London, depending on where you're based.

Life at Count

Count is a remote-first company. We believe great work can happen anywhere. Our team is based in various locations across the UK, Europe and the US.

Our work is important to us, and we know we work best when we actively maintain a good work-life balance. We're backed by some of Europe's best investors allowing us to offer a competitive employment package. Some of the benefits of working at Count include:

• Competitive salary, pension and share options
• Flexible working hours
• 28 days of holiday (plus public holidays)
• Private health care
• Generous parental leave
• An annual working from home allowance and co-working budget
• Quarterly meetups with the team to relax and brainstorm, each time in a different city

We're committed to building a diverse team. Whatever your race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status or disability, we want to hear from you.
