### Overview
At [Office Hours](https://officehours.com/), we’re on a mission to help people
realize the value of what they know.
We’re making it easy for professionals to share and earn from their knowledge,
insights, and expertise. How do we do this? In short, we’re a consulting
platform. We connect clients (knowledge seekers) with advisors (knowledge
holders) over short 15-60 minute virtual consultations or async surveys.
In order to facilitate these exchanges, we’ve built the entire stack from the
ground up. Profiles to showcase what people know. Search experiences to find
and discover relevant matches. Workflow tools and integrations to help
streamline logistics (e.g., compliance, scheduling, payments, etc). Even an
underlying knowledge graph that helps stitch all of these experiences
together. We’re doing for professionals what Airbnb has done for homes, Uber
has done for cars, and Shopify has done for businesses—giving them a
storefront.
Examples of connections we may make on any given day:
* An avid baseball collector with an early-stage investor conducting diligence on the collectibles industry
* A specialized oncologist with a healthcare consulting firm
* A software engineer with a mid-stage startup seeking feedback on what makes an exceptional developer sandbox experience for their new API
Join us in helping build a platform that makes knowledge-sharing easily
accessible and infinitely scalable. Everyone’s an expert; they just don’t know
it yet.
### About this role
We’re specifically looking for an experienced backend engineer. They’re likely
a generalist with a lean towards data platform or data engineering experience.
As our company's growth has accelerated, so have our data opportunities and
challenges.
How might we model ontologies of what people know? How might we design a
system that provides foundational services to leverage our knowledge graph
across the platform? How might we architect our data to serve multiple sources
(platform, analytics, etc.) while maintaining performance?
Our ideal candidate is excited about building systems for data collection,
processing, storage, and retrieval and is passionate about making these
systems observable, reliable, scalable, and highly automated.
