Our team

Our Engineering team consists of 30 Engineers with diverse backgrounds and experiences. We work closely with our product team on various projects, including new features, infrastructure enhancements, and client-specific work. At Ometria, we foster a learning culture, supporting the growth of our engineers through career progression paths, self-development budgets, and soft-skills training.

At Ometria we help e-commerce retailers make sense of their multiple streams of data and allow them to send more relevant communications. Our combined product and engineering teams use Python (and a little Go) to process millions of data points into real-time analytics, backed by statistical methods and machine learning. Our users then use the analytics via a slick UI powered by a modern JavaScript Single Page App framework using Javascript, React and Ampersand.js.

We believe in modern software engineering principles, including DevOps and SRE practices, Agile (including Kanban), delighting our users and investing in the growth of our team. The company is backed by top VC funds and successful entrepreneurs and is working alongside over a hundred of the fastest growing retailers globally.

Our challenges:

Here are some of the challenges we are thinking about right now:

• Building out scalable modern microservices on AWS/Kubernetes using JavaScript, Python, and Go, in a way it allows for the autonomy of teams, fault tolerance, reliable monitoring and alerting. We’re working on continually adapting the system for growth as we continue to onboard more clients, especially as we expand our US presence.
• Updating and modernising our front-end architecture, choosing the right tools for the job. 
• Optimising our reporting and inference engine (AI) to run analytics over millions of data points in real-time for our clients.

• Experience with unit and end-to-end testing (e.g. Cypress)
• A background in functional programming approaches (e.g. Ramda, RxJS) would be a plus
• Working with micro front ends and having contributed to a style guide would be a plus
• You also have excellent communication skills - both written and verbal

• Problem solver - You enjoy working collaboratively in a team, but can also work independently to solve problems. You seek help/feedback when required to ensure solutions are robust, well documented, etc. You may have some experience in utilising product managers, test engineers and SRE’s.

• Attention to detail - You take pride in your work, don’t cut corners and can work at a high level of abstraction as well as being detail oriented.

• Creativity, passion, and knowledge - You share these interests and are hungry to learn about what others are doing, as well as get immersed in what Ometria does and the market it’s in. You have a passion for the latest development and deployment technologies and have a hunger to learn.
