About the Job
- You will be part of a small team with a large amount of ownership and surface area, given that the tooling is used by the entire company.
- You will lead frontend architecture and product execution on Portal, while contributing across the stack where needed (Python services, data pipelines, APIs).
- You will have the freedom to suggest and drive new initiatives — including how Portal evolves as the unified data home base at Instacart.
- You are expected to mentor other team members and be a champion of engineering excellence, particularly around frontend craft, performance, and UX quality.
- You will work closely with other teams (Data Science, ML, Product Eng, Infra) to understand their main pain points around data and translate them into self-serve and reliable solutions.
Minimum Qualifications
- Self-motivation and an enjoyment for a startup environment
- A strong sense of ownership
- Strong frontend expertise — deep experience with React and TypeScript, with a track record of shipping polished, performant product UI in a large codebase
- Comfort working fullstack — able to extend backend services (Python) and reason about APIs, data models, and pipelines as needed
- Strong knowledge of SQL and familiarity with common data infrastructure technologies (Python, Airflow, Snowflake, dbt) in a production environment
- Experience working with a large codebase on a cross-functional team
- An ability to balance a sense of urgency with shipping high quality and pragmatic solutions
- A product mindset — you care about the experience your tools create, not just the systems behind them
- 7+ years of working experience in a similar field/environment
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience building internal developer tools, data tools, or other "tools for technical users" products
- Familiarity with data catalog, lineage, or metadata systems (e.g., Amundsen, DataHub, OpenMetadata)
- Experience leading frontend architecture decisions or design system work
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, OR equivalent work experience
