👨🏻‍💻 Senior Software Engineer - Backend (Data Lineage)

Hello, we are Atlan! 👋
A home for data teams around the world. 🏠 Think what Github did for Engineering Teams or Figma did for Design Teams (Website, Product Tour, Docs)

Our Story: Built for the humans of data, by the humans of data

At Atlan, we started as a data team ourselves tackling problems like national-level healthcare and poverty alleviation with data science (TED talk; Case Studies)

The problem: That's how we learnt how tough it was to scale data teams. Data teams are the most interdisciplinary teams ever created: Analysts, Scientists, Engineers, Business; Diverse people with their own tooling preferences and skillsets and "DNA" that need to come together and collaborate effectively. Leading to collaboration chaos.

We would be awoken with crisis calls every second day for the minutest of issues - from troubleshooting why a number on a dashboard is incorrect to getting access to the right dataset! Atlan started as us building small tools to make our own data team more agile.

Over a couple of years, we made our team 6X more agile and went on to do amazing things like build India's National Data Platform used by its Prime Minister. (data for 500M citizens, built by an 8-member team, fastest project of its kind to go live — in 12 months instead of projected 3 years)

💡 Could the tooling we built for ourselves help data teams around the world? That's how Atlan was born. We're on the mission to help data teams around the world do their lives' best work.

Read our cofounder, Prukalpa's article about our vision for the future of data collaboration and our journey of failing 3 times before we figured out the real solution.

🚀 We're growing fast

We've grown 16X in just the last 6 months 📈

We were named a Gartner Cool Vendor in DataOps, one of the Top 3 companies globally (one of the fastest companies to make the list 🌏)

We're backed by iconic investors, including Sequoia Capital, Waterbridge Ventures and Mr. Ratan Tata 🏅

Watch this 3-minute video of our journey so far & where we're going (in conversation with Sequoia Capital).

We build with all our ❤️
We believe that data teams deserve fundamentally better software experiences... Just because data is chaos, doesn't mean that work should be! 🌟

At Atlan, we are on an important mission to help data teams to do their lives’ best work. We believe that when data teams become more productive and agile, they will go on to do amazing things - from helping humankind get to Mars to maybe, finding the cure for cancer someday. Every Atlanian is committed to giving the best customer and user experience possible to the humans of data.

As a product designer at Atlan, you'll be a part of our fast-growing designer and product team, and get to collaborate with and learn from a talented bunch of designers, product managers, engineers and customer-facing folks who are committed to building a better data culture in data teams across the world.
