Telicent is hiring a back-end engineer - working with Python, Java and Go - to help design and implement our groundbreaking open source data mesh platform.
Our platform enables customers to extricate themselves from architectural patterns that stifle change. We achieve this by unlocking applications from each other and removing the friction, using open standards. This solves significant interoperability issues for organisations with complex data needs, creating freedom for adaptability, innovation, new integrations and progress.
To accelerate customer engagement and innovation we're also building beautiful platform-native knowledge and ML-driven analysis web apps and a no/low code environment that will leverage the power of the platform.
It's an event sourcing architecture, built with resilience and performance in mind. The work entails plenty of interesting architecture, data science, design, security, integration and scaling considerations. We can offer as much support, mentoring and autonomy as you need while you get to grips with the domain and our evolving tech stack. https://github.com/Telicent-io
You'll be encouraged to explore responsibilities, to grow, and to maintain a healthy curiosity for back-end and data tech and for finding better ways of working with software. We'll also meet up regularly for pairing, workshops, engineering discussions, team get-togethers etc.
