About the role

We are looking for experienced, backend-leaning product engineers to help expand the capabilities of our industry-leading AI analytics platform.
The possibilities here are incredible, and we're uniquely positioned to reinvent how people think about understanding data.
We're especially focused on features that enable Hex's AI agent to operate across more customer segments and surface areas, including APIs, MCP, and command-line interfaces.

Build and extend Hex's API and CLI to enable powerful, ergonomic workflows for our most sophisticated technical users
Design MCP server and client implementations to expand entry points into our capabilities
Design and implement a next-generation access control system, including role-based access control (RBAC), admin request/approval flows, and tiered admin roles that scale with complex organizations
Own full-stack product changes end-to-end, from backend policy enforcement to admin-facing workflows, ensuring these enterprise features are intuitive, reliable, and secure
Propose and implement well-architected, scalable systems in collaboration with the broader Hex team
Skilled at building systems with high levels of complexity and intricate business logic
Deep interest and/or experience in developing state-of-the-art agentic workflows involving disparate systems and tools
Willingness to make changes anywhere in the stack to drive impact
On the backend, we also use Typescript to power an Express/Apollo GraphQL server that interacts with Postgres, Redis, and Kubernetes to manage our database and Python kernels.
Our backend is tightly integrated with our infrastructure and CI/CD, where we use a combination of Terraform, Helm, and AWS to deploy and maintain our stack.

5+ years of backend or full-stack software engineering experience
Experience working in a remote-first team, with strong communication skills in that context
A passion for technical collaboration, including RFCs, code reviews, and architecture discussions
