Who We Are:

Materialize is an operational data warehouse. It’s the same SQL, same workflows, same architecture as an analytical data warehouse, but with a continuous computation model instead of batch. Your data is always up to date, always consistent, and always immediately accessible, so you can build real-time automation, engaging customer experiences, and new operational data products that drive value for your business.

Our streaming-first data warehouse is purpose-built for the unique demands of operational work. The familiar cloud architecture means low admin overhead, no new skills required. And the incremental engine means the same complex batch transformation logic from analytical warehouses can be ported over to run in real time with minimal engineering effort, and without increasing costs.

Investors:

Kleiner Perkins, Redpoint Ventures and Lightspeed Venture Partners.

About the Role:

The Materialize web user interface (web console) is one of our primary surfaces for customers to interact with, learn, and manage Materialize. The user interface for Materialize helps new users become productive with their data workflows and understand the work Materialize is doing on their behalf through visualizations and interactive tooling. Our first audience has been highly technical engineers working with Materialize directly through the command line. Our hope is that through the Web UI we will make the product accessible to both first-time and power users.

We are looking for a front end engineer who is eager to both develop new features and participate in infrastructural design. While we’ve built a solid foundation with our current team of two front end engineers, there is still significant opportunity to shape the architecture and vision for the Web UI. We currently use React and TypeScript for the frontend. The database backend is built in Rust and our API accepts Materialize SQL, so that the frontend makes requests in the same way as an end user. Our tech stack will evolve over time, so we're looking for people who are excited about learning new technologies.

About You:

  • Experience with React and TypeScript.
  • Experience writing modern web applications.
  • Ability to write substantial new feature code.
  • A bias toward simple and sustainable solutions to technical challenges.
  • Comfort making technology decisions that will stand the test of time.
  • Track record of picking up new technologies and skills quickly.
  • Working knowledge of computer science basics, such as basic data structures and algorithms.
  • Ability to prototype new concepts quickly and iterate for rapid feedback.

Requirements:

  • Work on the frontend in React and Typescript (and backend, if desired) for the Materialize Web UI.
  • Coordinate with other user-facing colleagues in design, product, and developer experience.
  • Engage in decisions around what frameworks and tools to use.
  • Collaborate with backend engineers on the cloud and database teams to define the APIs and SQL queries to power our Web UI features.
  • Influence the product and engineering roadmap.
  • Help make sense of technical concepts with a human-friendly, reasonably attractive interface.

Bonus Points:

  • Experience with SQL
  • Experience with Rust
  • Experience with data visualization
  • Knowledge of databases and/or streaming data processing
  • Knowledge of web performance best practices
  • Experience with frontend tooling: builds, linting, deployment, testing, etc.
  • Experience with developing human-friendly abstractions for deeply technical products

Benefits:

  • Comprehensive health coverage for you and your dependents
  • Competitive equity package
  • 401k
  • Generous paid parental leave
  • Charitable donation matching

We understand it takes a diverse team of highly intelligent, passionate, curious, and creative people to develop the exceptional product we are building. Our dynamic team has incredible perspectives to share, just as we know you do, and we take great pride in being an equal opportunity employer.

For government reporting purposes, we ask candidates to respond to the below self-identification survey. Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

As set forth in Materialize’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
