Senior Data Infrastructure Engineer

Senior Data Infrastructure Engineer

Push the boundaries of tech. In your sweatpants. 

We’re looking for an experienced Senior Data Infrastructure Engineer to help us change how the world works. Here, you’ll be part of our Data Platform team, supporting cross-functional groups around the world. The right candidate will develop, review, and maintain database systems and other parts of the data platform. 

The Data team is building the Data Platform for Scale, Performance, and Privacy. We are a small team of highly experienced senior data professionals that combine DBA, Data Engineering, and Software Engineering backgrounds, and have a lot to teach and learn from one another. We work on projects that help the company succeed, build the foundation of a data-driven organization, and help us learn and grow along the way. And even though we are remote and spread throughout the US and Canada, we find time to play and have fun together as well. We like each other as more than colleagues – we get along as human beings, people working together toward the same common goal.

The top creative and technical minds could work anywhere. So why are so many of them choosing Alludo? Here are three reasons:  

1.    This is the moment. It’s an exciting time at Alludo, with new leadership, a refreshed brand (you probably know us as Corel!), and a whole new approach to changing the way the world works. We’re at the forefront of a movement, and we want you to ride this wave with us.  

2.    We want you to be you. Too often, companies tell you about their culture and then expect you to fit it. Our culture is built from the people who work here. We want you to feel safe to be who you are, take risks, and show us what you’ve got.  

3.    It’s your world. We know you have a life. We want to be part of it, but not all of it. At Alludo, we’re serious about empowering people to work when, how, and where they want. Couch? Sweatpants? Cool with us. We believe that happy employees mean happy customers. That’s why we hire amazing people and get out of their way.
