About HockeyStack

HockeyStack helps B2B companies drive more revenue.


We're revolutionizing how marketing and sales teams leverage data and uncover insights from it. Our cutting-edge data platform unifies and transforms data from CRMs, ad platforms, and websites in real-time, extracting actionable insights to drive revenue.


Every B2B company grapples with this challenge. If you've ever seen sales and marketing teams struggling to find effective strategies, you understand the problem we're solving. Join us in our mission to make good companies great.


We graduated from YC’s Summer 23 batch and we've roughly doubled our ARR every 6 months since then. If you join, you'll be part of a high-growth startup with proven product-market fit, methodically building a billion-dollar company through a high-performance culture and exceptional talent.


What we value

  • Builders.

    • Coding well is a rigorous craft. We are looking for people who enjoy coding just for the sake of it. That’s how you build really cool stuff.

  • Ownership.

    • Expect to own a crucial part of the product within your first two weeks. No jokes. We’ve seen that only the ones who can take this kind of a responsibility can thrive in this environment.

  • Shipping. Fast.

    • You don’t need to break things to move fast. But you do need a certain kind of mentality to know what shortcuts you can take and what tradeoffs you can make. How else can you grow fast if you aren’t deploying to prod every day?

  • Scalability.

    • Writing production-ready code is a very different thing when you have 1 customer versus over 100. You should take pride in thinking through every line of code you write and any edge cases it might introduce.


Fun Facts

  • Some of our SQL queries involve more than 500 lines of code.

  • We are munging and managing more than 60TB of data for our customers

  • We process high-throughput data from 30+ data sources

About the role

Who we’re looking for

You might call yourself a SQL expert, a database engineer, or just a strong backend engineer. You love going deep into optimizing slow things, thinking about different ways to store data and, most importantly, uncovering insights from TBs of data.

Your Mission: Transforming Data into Gold

You’ll primarily work in our Node.js backend and maintain how the app gets data from the database. This includes writing and optimizing SQL queries but also includes dealing with deep business logic about transforming this data in Javascript before sending it to the frontend.


This requires understanding both how data flows into our systems but also how and why people interact with the product itself.

Requirements

  • San Francisco, in person every day

  • Good backend knowledge (Node.js, Express)

  • Exposure to SQL beforehand

  • Move fast and reach milestones under uncertainty

  • Ready to work really hard on really hard problems 

Bonus Points

  • High-growth SaaS experience, including scalability challenges

  • Familiarity with ClickHouse (our main analytical database)


Benefits:

Some of the cool benefits we offer aside from the cool technical work you get to do alongside some smart engineers:
  • TOP salary + meaningful equity
  • Beautiful office near South Park in SF
  • Catered daily meals (coming soon)
  • Unlimited Beer & diet coke (because who likes coke zero :d)
  • 401K & Health,Dental and Vision insurance
