About the role

We are looking for a Senior or Staff-level software engineer to join our Backend Platform team.

Our team is responsible for building and maintaining Hex's core compute platform, which serves as the fundamental engine for all code execution, SQL querying, and data processing across the Hex application. Our platform powers everything from the core notebook interface and published applications to the complex data capabilities required by our AI agents.

Our mission is twofold: to make the compute platform exceptionally easy to use, develop on, and monitor, while also ensuring it is blazingly fast and performant. Engineers on this team operate at the challenging and rewarding intersection of systems architecture, API design, and deep performance optimization.

What you will do

On the Backend Platform team you’ll work on projects with high technical complexity and spanning across the stack, from our backend data systems to the frontend of Hex’s collaborative notebook interface.

Here are some examples of the kinds of projects you might tackle:

• Using DuckDB to enable seamless data interoperability between Python and SQL code written by our users or AI agents
• Building intelligent caching systems to speed up customer data queries
• Implementing a graph-based dependency framework for optimizing multi-step execution plans
• Instrumenting complex, multi-language systems to identify performance bottlenecks
• Building visualizations into the product to help users understand the performance characteristics of their code

About you

• 6+ years of engineering experience working on complex, data-driven systems or applications
• Expert-level understanding of Python, SQL, jupyter kernels, and/or data warehousing systems
• Deeply informed on industry trends around data processing, databases, and performant data architectures
• You love diving into highly complex codebases and have a passion for designing elegant abstractions that improve correctness and developer productivity
• An inexhaustible desire to understand where every millisecond of time could be going
• An instinct for strategic thinking and aligning with business and product goals while keeping a healthy balance of velocity and engineering excellence.
• Experience working in a remote-first team and strong communication skills in this context.

This role is fully remote anywhere within the US Eastern timezone, with the option to work from our NYC office.

Our stack

Our product is a web-based notebook and app authoring platform. Our frontend is built with Typescript and React, using a combination of Apollo GraphQL and Redux for managing application state and data. 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.

In addition to our unique culture, Hex proudly offers a competitive total rewards package, including but not limited to, market-benched salary & equity, comprehensive health benefits, and flexible paid time off.

The salary range for this role is: $198,000 - $295,000

The salary range shown may be a reflection of additional factors such as geographical location and skill ranges/levels we’re open to. Placement in the salary range will be decided upon completion of the interview process, taking into account factors like leaving room for growth, internal fairness & parity, your demonstrated skills, and the depth of your experience.

Program Building & Ownership

• Experience building or maturing GRC programs at a high-growth company.
• Strong project/program management skills: you can set roadmaps, drive timelines, and deliver on deadlines.
• Comfort creating order out of ambiguity—you design the playbook, not just follow one.

Customer-Facing & Cross-Functional Skills

• Exceptional communicator with the ability to translate complex topics into clear, concise, customer-ready language.
• Strong stakeholder management skills—you can collaborate with engineering, sales, legal, executives, and prospects with equal effectiveness.
• Empathic, diplomatic, and able to balance customer expectations with business realities.

Professional Competencies

• Highly organized and detail-oriented; rigorous in execution.

• Familiarity with data protection operations, privacy programs, DPIAs, or AI/ML compliance contexts.

Why you’ll love this role

• You’ll build a foundational function from scratch—your work defines how Hex earns and maintains customer trust.
• You’ll work across the entire company, influencing product decisions, customer outcomes, and security posture.
• You’ll shape a modern, automation-forward GRC program rather than inheriting legacy complexity.

The role

We’re looking for a hands-on Software Engineering Lead to join our Growth & Monetization team. This group spans several work streams — including product-led growth (PLG), user activation, pricing and billing, and new product bets —solving complex challenges that help thousands of customers, from startups to Fortune 500 companies, get the most out of Hex.

This role is ideal for a technical leader who thinks like a business owner and has strong product sense. Your team won't just write code—you'll obsess over conversion rates, user experience, business tradeoffs, and what makes a user go from "this is interesting" to "I can't live without this." Together with your Product, Design, Data, and Marketing partners, you’ll be responsible for driving key business outcomes for Hex.

Our PLG motion is core to how Hex grows. Every day, thousands of data scientists and analysts discover Hex, sign up, and explore. You’ll be a key member of the team turning that interest into lasting engagement and revenue—through experimentation, product improvements, and an unrelenting focus on moving the dial for the business. If you've ever wished you could combine the rigor of engineering with the impact of running a business, this is the role.

What You'll Do at Hex

• Serve as a player-coach for a small, cross-functional team driving Hex’s growth and monetization initiatives. You’ll drive impact through both technical leadership and hands-on coding.
• Build growth-focused product features: Create full-stack experiences (in React, Typescript, Python, and more) like onboarding flows, core product features, activation nudges, and billing experiences that feel delightful and drive results.
• Extend Hex’s backend monetization systems to support novel pricing models and quick iteration as the AI landscape evolves.
• Balance experimentation with product sense: Design, run, and iterate on A/B tests across the funnel when it’s appropriate; lean on product sense and customer input when it’s not.
• Drive growth metrics: With your team, take responsibility for key business outcomes like trial-to-paid conversion, user activation rates, expansion revenue, or product-led pipeline.
• Collaborate across the business: Work closely with Product, Design, Data, and Marketing to identify opportunities and align on growth priorities. You'll have a seat at the table when we discuss strategy.

About you

• You have 4+ years of experience as a full-stack software engineer and 2+ years as a technical lead or hands-on engineering manager, comfortable building across frontend (React/TypeScript) and backend systems.
• You operate with a “business owner" mindset: driving business outcomes and delivering value to customers matter more to you than writing perfect code.
• You’re pragmatic with good data intuition. You’re just as comfortable making fast decisions on imperfect data as you are setting up tracking and running stat-sig experiments.
• You default to action—shipping fast, learning quickly, and iterating relentlessly.
• You’re familiar with B2B SaaS, experimentation, billing, and/or collaboration products.

It’s a bonus if you have:

• Experience building out growth engineering teams at startups or scale-ups
• Background in analytics, data tools, or developer-focused products
• Familiarity with growth loops, funnel optimization, and activation frameworks (extra bonus if you're an Elena Verna or Lenny’s Newsletter subscriber)
• Previous founder or early-stage startup experience—you know what it means to own outcomes and wear multiple hats.
