About Tinybird

Tinybird is the real-time data platform. At Tinybird, we enable data teams to harness the power of real-time data and quickly build data pipelines and data products. With Tinybird, you can ingest multiple data sources at scale, query and shape them using the 100% pure SQL you already know and love, and publish the results as low-latency, high-concurrency APIs you consume in your applications. Developers can create fast APIs, faster. What used to take hours and days now only takes minutes. Tinybird is the indispensable tool data engineers and software developers have been waiting for.

Our founding team has deep expertise in building cloud and data-intensive products serving organizations all over the world, and we are backed by great team members and investors who have built or are building some of the most relevant developer tools out there (including the Founders of GitHub, Algolia, and Vercel, amongst others)

Being a remote-first company with over 60 birdies from different nationalities, we believe our strength lies in cultivating a diverse environment. Everyone at Tinybird plays a role in forming and executing our strategy, and we truly believe our globally diverse workforce is the key to unlocking the most value for our customers.

What are we looking for?

We are looking for someone to help us build and maintain our customer-facing website (www.tinybird.co), maintain our marketing landing page and email templates, and assist in developing new features in our documentation. You’ll have complete ownership over our public-facing web properties in this role. You’ll work closely with marketing, design, and product to implement a visually appealing site that exceeds our expectations for web traffic, performance, and conversion.

Today, we are in the middle of a migration from a Webflow project to a modern architecture based on NextJS + Tailwind and deployed in Vercel. In this role, you will be essential when choosing which technologies we will use, optimizing speed and maintainability. The first few months of this role you will help finalize the migration from Webflow. After that, you will be responsible for creating new features and the overall health of the site.

At Tinybird, we move very fast, but always as a flock. So candidates must be phenomenal team players and fully capable of completing complex tasks in a self-directed manner.

This role is remote-first, based anywhere in the EU, and English-language proficiency is required.
