We’re looking for someone with strong backend engineering skills to work on
AWS billing tools.
While we’re ingesting and working with many, many terabytes of data, the
ingestion is batched from S3 into ClickHouse where acceptable latency is
measured in hours, so typical data engineering concerns (eg, streaming data)
aren’t a concern.
Instead, the real challenges we have are with data modeling. We’re taking a
lot of semi-freeform data and applying structure to it and doing a lot of
querying to the cloud bill. This will only get more complex as we expand
functionality.
On the frontend, we’re visualizing a lot of complex data, so we definitely
have fun design challenges to work with as we’re implementing all the
visualization.
This a Hybrid role with M/W/F in our San Francisco office, so only open to SF
Bay Area candidates. We've got a lot of domain knowledge to get out of our
heads and into yours and in-person is the best way we've found to do that
effectively.

About Us
The Duckbill Group provides consulting services to mid-market and enterprise
companies aimed at optimizing and managing their AWS spend. We are currently
building a new SaaS product in the cloud cost management space called Skyway.
While we might look like a standard boutique consulting firm, we’ve got big
dreams and ambitions around how we can serve more clients in more ways.
We believe in a different way of doing consulting:
* We believe protecting the client is paramount.
* We don't bill hourly or percent-of-savings, because both create misalignment between us and our clients.
* We optimize for short, in-and-out engagements over long-term engagements. Our average client engagement lasts only eight weeks.
* We don't do engineering-level implementation work. We stick to higher-level engagements where our value is clear to everyone.
* We don't do custom engagements. Our consulting services look more like a product than a service, in that they are fixed-scope, defined-outcome, defined-process, and standardized pricing. In other words, no scope creep here.
Diversity & Inclusion
We’re building a diverse and inclusive workplace where we learn from each
other. We hire adults. We value transparency, autonomy, experimentation, and
kind, direct feedback. We welcome nontraditional candidates, and people of all
backgrounds, experiences, abilities and perspectives. We’re an equal
opportunity employer and our hiring process is structured to put you at ease
and help you demonstrate your best work. If we are doing a poor job of this at
any time, please let us know. We hire for strengths, not absence of weakness.
Come do great things with us.
