About Operata

Operata is building the world’s first CX Observability platform for Cloud Contact Centers, and our mission is to put ‘people experience’ at the heart of communications.


Our platform is designed to measure, optimize and maintain voice performance to deliver the best customer and agent experience for cloud contact centers.  We do this by uncovering valuable insights from millions of agent interactions — that happen every day — by utilizing metrics, logs and traces across technical, behavioral, and experiential data. Our customers include global insurers, telcos, banks and managed service providers.  

About the role

We’re scaling up, and are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Full Stack Engineer to help us fulfill our objective in building the best observability platform for cloud contact centers. 

As a full-stack engineer, you will have exposure to all parts of our platform — from collecting telemetry within our browser extension, to building experiences within our web application, and across our data pipelines and backend APIs & services. 

We’re a AWS Select Technology Partner — our platforms utilize technologies in the AWS stack including EKS, Lambda, Kinesis, CloudFormation, RDS and S3.  We also use a mix of Kubernetes, Serverless, Docker, Flink, Superset, and OpenSearch to deliver Operata at scale.

How you will make an impact

• As a full-stack engineer you will be hands-on in building and maintaining new features in the Operata platform, taking an API-first approach with a focus on scale, security and reliability.
• You will be challenged with uncovering new ways to capture observability data from many new sources and platforms, utilizing client-side data collectors, both in-browser agents and server-side lambdas.
• Understand customer problems and their jobs-to-be-done by collaborating with business and product stakeholders, and work alongside your peers to contribute to the ongoing evolution of our platform.
• Each month, you’ll have the opportunity to take a day to hack on something you’re passionate about, whether it’s experimenting with new tooling, improving the developer experience, or even to explore a product idea.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in full stack development with strong frontend and backend skills.
• Bachelor Level University qualifications in IT, Computer Science or related Engineering field.
• Strong programming skills in TypeScript, React, and Go or similar languages. Python, Java, or Scale is a plus.
• Expertise in API development, with a good-level of understanding of microservices architecture.
• Experience working with infrastructure as code; Terraform (preferred), AWS CloudFormation / SAM / CDK, or similar .
• Hands-on experience with DevOps best practices, Kubernetes, Container Orchestration, and Serverless infrastructures.
• Proficiency with SQL and DBMs such as PostgreSQL, OpenSearch, Redshift, Clickhouse or similar.
• Experience with CI/CD workflow tools (i.e. GitHub Actions, Buildkite Pipelines or AWS Workflows).
• A good understanding of Cloud Security best practices is a bonus.

What you’ll bring to the role

• You promote openness, diversity of opinions and inclusive discussions at all times to evaluate a wide variety of ideas and perspectives in solving challenging problems
• You demonstrate clear decision making and good trade-offs in complex situations comprising multiple opinions, needs, teams, technologies, cloud providers, and architectural settings
• You communicate effectively with stakeholders ranging from founders and executives to junior engineers across the breadth and depth of the business. 
• You exemplify high accountability, integrity, and resilience to maintain focus on both big-picture goals and milestones to get there
• You enable the engineering organization to innovate and deliver with greater speed and safety.
