Senior Data Engineer

About Multitudes

Kia ora and welcome to Multitudes! We’re on a mission to make tech equitable and inclusive – and we’re hiring!

Our product is an AI agent that not only enhances product delivery but also nurtures teams – by making sure everyone is getting the feedback they need, that work is distributed fairly, and giving visibility to the warning signs of burnout.

Our dedication extends beyond our product to how we operate. Every aspect of our team, from hiring practices to product development, is infused with our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. For one example, take a peek at our data ethics principles!

Our customers also represent the best software engineering teams in the world – from Honeycomb and Veho in the US, to Clara in Latin America and Octopus Deploy in Australia, and more. We’re in the company of great engineering teams who we learn from continually, so we hold ourselves to an equally high bar in both our equitable practices and our technical competence.

We’re excited to announce our second raise, bringing us to ~$4M in funding. We’ve got incredible supporters, including Blackbird Ventures, Ellen Pao (of Reddit, Project Include), Jon Williams and Doug English (co-founders of Culture Amp), Vaughan Fergusson (founder of Vend, now Lightspeed), and more. With this support, we're excited to expand our team and embark on the next chapter of our product journey.
