Full-Stack Engineer, Bay Area Hybrid

Palo Alto, California, United States

DataHub, built by Acryl Data, is an AI & Data Context Platform adopted by over 3,000 enterprises, including Apple, CVS Health, Netflix, and Visa. Innovated jointly with a thriving open-source community of 13,000+ members, DataHub's metadata graph provides in-depth context of AI and data assets with best-in-class scalability and extensibility.

The company's enterprise SaaS offering, DataHub Cloud, delivers a fully managed solution with AI-powered discovery, observability, and governance capabilities. Organizations rely on DataHub solutions to accelerate time-to-value from their data investments, ensure AI system reliability, and implement unified governance, enabling AI & data to work together and bring order to data chaos.

The Challenge

As AI and data products become business-critical, enterprises face a metadata crisis:

  • No unified way to track the complex data supply chain feeding AI systems
  • Engineering teams struggling with data discovery, lineage, and governance
  • Organizations needing machine-scale metadata management, not just human-browsable catalogs

We're seeking a seasoned Full Stack Engineering Lead to architect and drive the development of our high-performance, consumer-grade data platform. In this role, you'll lead the technical direction of our user-facing products, focusing on building scalable, responsive applications that handle complex data visualizations and interactions for data discovery, data quality, and data governance. You'll work at the intersection of technical excellence and user experience, ensuring our platform maintains sub-second response times while processing large datasets.

  • Collaborate with product, design, and backend teams to deliver seamless user experiences
  • Drive technical decisions and architecture choices that enable rapid product iteration while maintaining system reliability
  • Establish performance metrics and optimization strategies for complex data visualizations and interactions
  • Mentor and guide a team of engineers, fostering best practices in code quality, testing, and performance optimization
  • Lead code reviews and technical discussions to ensure high-quality implementation

Required Qualifications

  • 8+ years of full-stack engineering experience, with at least 3 years in a technical leadership role
  • Proven track record of building and scaling consumer-facing web applications that handle significant user traffic
  • Deep expertise in React, TypeScript, a JS testing framework (cypress, enzyme, react-testing), and modern frontend architecture patterns
  • Strong experience with performance optimization, including code splitting, lazy loading, and state management
  • Expertise in GraphQL and frameworks like Apollo, with experience optimizing query performance and caching strategies
  • Experience with real-time data visualization and complex UI interactions
  • Strong background in building and maintaining microservices architecture
  • Track record of leading architectural decisions and technical initiatives
  • Experience mentoring engineers and driving technical excellence within teams
  • Familiarity with tools in the modern data and ML ecosystem

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience working with DataHub is a huge plus!
  • Previous experience at an early stage startup
  • Knowledge of data governance and security best practices
  • Track record of implementing data quality frameworks
  • Contributing to open-source projects

If you're passionate about technology, enjoy working with customers, and want to be part of a fast-growing company changing the industry, we want to hear from you!

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
