Weave is looking for engineers hungry for fun challenges who can join our self-empowered teams and contribute in both technical and non-technical ways.

You will be joining a team of talented developers that share a common interest in distributed backend systems, data, scalability, and continued development. You will get a chance to apply these, and other skills, to new and ongoing projects to make data more available, and easier to discover and use.

Our cross functional, agile teams are composed of a product owner, backend and frontend devs and devops. Teams are highly autonomous with the ownership and ability to act in Weave’s best interest.

Above all, your work will impact the way our customers experience Weave while working closely with a highly skilled team to accomplish varying goals and cultivate our phenomenal culture.

The Data Platform Team's mission is to enable product innovation by making it painless for developers to build applications that require access to large sets of data.

We handle data for thousands of customers daily.

This year we are putting extra emphasis on making it easy to work with data, enhancing the dependability of our core systems, and enhancing our tooling for pain free security & compliance. This will require out of the box thinking.
