Job Description
Backend Engineer – Workflows
CARTO
• Own the design and evolution of core backend services that power workflow execution, scheduling and orchestration across multiple cloud data warehouses. • Translate visual DAGs into efficient, warehouse-native SQL and procedural code, pushing computation down to where the data lives. • Build and maintain integrations with BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks, Redshift, Azure Oracle, Postgres and Synapse — including connection management, query execution, error handling and cost/performance optimization. • Extend the component catalog with new analytical building blocks and design the SDK that lets customers and partners contribute their own. • Improve reliability and observability of long-running, scheduled and event-triggered jobs: retries, idempotency, lineage, logging, metrics. • Collaborate closely with Product, Frontend, Data Engineering and QA to ship features end-to-end, from API design to UX behavior. • Integrate AI tools pragmatically throughout your development workflow — not as a checkbox, but as a genuine productivity multiplier in how you design, build, and test.
Job Requirements
- 5+ years of backend engineering experience shipping production systems at scale.
- Deep database expertise with at least one of our primary warehouses: BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift, Databricks or Oracle. You can read an execution plan, spot a bad join, and reason about partitioning, clustering and cost before the query hits production.
- Experience with TypeScript and Node.js in a production backend context.
- Nice to have: frontend fluency. You can move fluidly into a React/TypeScript codebase to own a feature end-to-end, unblock yourself on API contract issues, or quickly prototype UI for new components.
- Comfort in a serverless and cloud-native environment, with practical experience with GCP or AWS.
- Hands-on experience building with AI. You've already shipped features powered by LLMs, embeddings, agents or AI-assisted tooling in production — not just experimented on the side.
- Strong opinions about software quality. You write tests not because you're told to but because you've seen what happens when you don't. You document what matters and keep it current.
- A collaborative, low-ego approach to engineering. You give direct feedback in code reviews, ask good questions when you don't know something, and make the people around you better.
Benefits
- Compensation based on experience, discussed transparently during the process plus an annual bonus of up to 10% based on company objectives
- Contribute to a platform used by top companies around the world. Your work will have a direct impact on our users and clients
- Access to our Employee Stock Options Plan
- Private Medical Insurance
- Flexible compensation
- Education stipend
- Remote work stipend
- English classes
