Staff Software Engineer

Who We Are

At Domino Data Lab, we have an ambitious vision for data science. Our platform helps data science teams accelerate research, increase collaboration, and rapidly deploy predictive models.  Our customers are the most sophisticated analytical organizations in the world, including companies like Bristol Myers Squibb, Allstate, Bayer, and Red Hat. Backed by Sequoia Capital, Coatue Management, Bloomberg Beta, and Zetta Venture Partners, we are at the epicenter of the data science revolution, helping companies develop the next breakthrough in medicine, build better cars, or recommend the best song play next.

What we are building

The Product Engineering organization at Domino is developing the core features of our Domino platform that enables Data Scientists and Data Scientist Leaders to accelerate the lifecycle of machine learning model development. Each team within the organization focuses on a key problem area of the data science lifecycle to ensure our users can have a seamless experience. We are developing and training models all the way through to publishing and hosting them in production. Our software engineers are building the core user-facing features that allow data science teams (our customers) to improve the speed, quality and impact of their models at scale.

We have a monolithic application written in Scala and React that is deployed via Kubernetes, with MongoDB, and RabbitMQ for database and queueing. Our software is deployed on any cloud or on prem. We integrate with many 3rd party apps, and create a seamless experience that allows data scientists the ability to focus on the data not on the infrastructure, security, auditing, or deployment of their models.
