Quilt is continuous data delivery. We transform S3 into a collaborative data lake and data catalog. You will be a key member of Quilt's San Francisco based engineering team. We are a tight-knit team of computer scientists who take pride in what we build. We are looking for an experienced Cloud Engineer, with strong computer science fundamentals, to deliver high-quality, delightful features to our customers.
You have experience with the following platforms and technologies:
- Python, including backend and web frameworks like Flask and Django
- Blob Storage (i.e. S3, GCS, etc)
- Enterprise software features (e.g. SSO, license management, IT configuration, and scripted deployment)
- Open source - managing projects and releases; engaging contributors
- Cloud-native and serverless applications
You use all of the following technologies (and have hacked the internals of one or more):
- Version control systems, especially git
- Distributed data
- Docker and Kubernetes
- Databases, both SQL and NoSQL
- AWS
You are committed to producing high-quality code in a team setting:
- Unit tests
- Code reviews
- Integration tests and continuous deployment
What we expect
- Know your software engineering.
- Have a strong CS background, in order to choose the right algorithms, systems, approaches, and patterns to solve problems.
- Hit the ground running. Therefore, 3 or more years of industry experience is required.
- Experience with Python, and at least one systems programming language (C++, Java, or Go).
- Experience with AWS and/or Kubernetes a plus.

- Ask hard questions and challenge assumptions to ensure that we’re solving the right problems.
- Have the flexibility to work on the team’s most pressing problems.
- Care; about our customers, getting data infrastructure right, solving hard problems, and making our team successful.
