Job Description
A note about our job descriptions. We’ve written tons of JDs in our careers and wanted to try something new.

About Fiveonefour
We love data and analytics. And we love building software. But in our experience, to do anything truly interesting at scale with data/analytics, you have to leave the warm cozy world of software development, and enter the specialized workflows, tools, and technologies of the data engineering ecosystem. No more. We’re on a mission to democratize data and bring incredible software developer experiences to the data & analytics stack. In the future we’re building, ANY software developer (human or agentic) can build world class data-driven experiences – quickly and intuitively, as a native part of their core software development experience.
