DEVELOPMENT
Software Engineer
Data is transforming the world and we at Collate are transforming the world of data. Collate is founded by the co-founder of Hortonworks, the original creators of Hadoop, and data infrastructure leaders at Uber. We are on a mission to help every company realize the fullest potential of data through the power of open-source.
Though the last decade of big data evolution has given rise to scalable data infrastructure; several problems related to data quality, observability, usability, and productivity remain unaddressed. Thereby preventing companies from realizing value from data. We are focussed on solving these fundamental problems by enabling teams to discover, collaborate, and get their data right. We power the OpenMetadata community, an open-source initiative to define open metadata standards, centralize fractured metadata, and unify data experience
Collate is headquartered in the Bay Area with a strong remote culture and is backed by Unusual Ventures. This is a great opportunity to work in open-source with a great team to shape the future of data.
