About Tinybird:


At Tinybird, we help developers and data teams take flight by unlocking the power of real-time data to quickly build data pipelines and innovative data products. With Tinybird, you can effortlessly ingest multiple data sources at scale, query and shape it using the 100% pure SQL you already know and love, and publish results as low-latency, high-concurrency APIs for your applications to chirp about. Developers can create fast APIs, faster—what used to take hours and days now only takes minutes! Tinybird is the essential tool that data engineers and software developers have been waiting for enabling you to drive innovation with ease.



What we are looking for:
  • You are a highly-experienced Backend engineer building complex web services and low level problems. The language is not important, we use Python and C++ today, but we are not tied to anything
  • Write code for web-based services, create fast, easy-to-use, high volume production applications, and engineer prototypes quickly. Speed always wins
  • Contributes to engineering efforts from planning and organization, to execution and delivery to solve complex engineering problems
  • Loves data and SQL
  • You take ownership, follow through, and make progress even when things aren’t fully defined
  • You use AI tools (like Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, or others) to go faster, stay unblocked, and write better code
  • You are fluent in English. If you speak Spanish, Russian, or Mandarin also, that would be amazing and it would make us all wonder what we have done with our lives
  • You communicate well in writing. This is important not only because we favor asynchronous work but also because you will have to write documentation, guides, and the occasional blog post
  • You are able to participates as part of the on-call team, to understand not only our product, but also the issues our clients face


How could your typical day look like?
  • In this company, everyone is part of the product team. While your focus will be on Backend development, the priorities of what you tackle will be mostly driven by the things we want to accomplish with the product
  • Depending on the week, you could be working on the priorities for the Backend team: which means, working on new additions for our observability, ingesting or integrating a new connector, fixing problems on parts of the product already identified, or adding new capabilities for any user-facing analytics use case. Or, working at the Fast Responders team, which is a team where different members of the Product team work on fixing problems reported by our customers, improving or monitoring features we have just released, or removing some technical debt we identified
  • We discuss the product pretty much every day. It needs to balance today’s problems with tomorrow’s, so the vision of someone working with the product to fix real problems is crucial, but the outlook of someone who knows the internals is invaluable to making the right long-term decisions


How we work:
  • We’re a remote company, committed to a remote-first culture—but we’ve found that being together in person, especially in our Madrid office, often helps us move faster, stay aligned, and solve problems more effectively. So except for specific roles, expect us to ask you to spend 2-3 days per week at the office
  • As we’re in the early stages, your contributions will have a significant impact on everything we do
  • We believe in transparency, so you’ll always be in the loop about what’s happening
  • Check out our blog or follow us on LinkedIn to find out more about what’s important to us
