TextQL is a platform that simplifies the data-to-insight process for organizations. The platform indexes BI tools and semantic layers, documents data in dbt, and uses OpenAI and language models to provide self-serve power analytics. With TextQL, non-technical users can easily and quickly work with data by asking questions in their work context (Slack/Teams/email) and getting automated answers quickly and safely. The platform also leverages NLP and semantic layers, including the dbt Labs semantic layer, to ensure reasonable solutions. TextQL's elegant handoffs to human analysts, when required, dramatically simplify the whole question-to-answer process with AI.

About the Role

• Data Engineering Architecture Leadership: You should know more about data architecture than anyone else on the team, as the leader who sets the culture at TextQL
• Bias Towards Speed: Prioritize rapid development, emphasizing speed in building and building that culture with the team
• Excited about AI use cases: Functions like dynamic preprocessing of datatypes “$14,642” to float with code generated on the fly are now possible with ai generated code. Solving previously impossible problems like this at scale should feel exciting.
• Pathway to Leadership and Beyond: Ability to grow into the powerhouse of the team - gaining unique skills for high-level positions or entrepreneurial ventures.
• Revenue Share and Commission: Immediate financial incentives through revenue share and commission for every successful feature rollout and production deployment participated in.

Tech stack is Haskell + Typescript (Svelte) + Nix right now. You probably won’t have a great time if you’ve never thought about touching any kind of functional programming before.

We're looking for people who:

• Have strong opinions about the way data architecture should be designed and what accurate self serve analytics needs to look like
• Are excited to work in person 5 days/week in our NYC Office in FIDI
• Take ownership, and accept everything as part of their job - are focused on achieving the spirit of the task and not ticking a box
• Enjoy autonomy and a complete lack of guardrails, and are comfortable working with a great deal of ambiguity

Nice to haves

• Strong opinions on the right way to build out data infrastructure
• Previous founding or independent contracting experience
