Metabase is the easiest way for people to get insights from their data, from tiny startups who get up and running quickly to major corporations with tens of thousands of users. That's why people love us.
We bring data tools with the elegance and simplicity of consumer products to the crufty world of enterprise business intelligence. We provide an opinionated open source starting point for how companies should measure, analyze and share their data, which is used by tens of thousands of companies.
We built Metabase because existing tools for business intelligence didn’t feel like things we wanted to use. We wanted faster, simpler ways to ask questions about data, and wanted to strip away the colder feel of most Enterprise software. Folks seemed to agree, and now Metabase is used daily by tens of thousands of companies to give people in all sorts of roles access to insights they wouldn’t have otherwise had. None of this could happen without our user interface and that’s where you come in. We’re looking for someone with strong product sensibilities, extraordinarily good frontend skills, and solid software engineering fundamentals to join our team to advance the state of the art in our product and our industry.
We are hiring for multiple Engineering Manager positions.
You Will
Directly manage a team of engineers and help them ship features that delight Metabase users.
Work closely with Product, Design, and Success teams to plan and execute on the product roadmap, balancing feature development, tech improvements and bug fixes.
Coach individuals, tune processes, remove obstacles, and optimize the environment to continuously increase the speed of iteration.
Be technical, deeply understand the problems the team is solving and make decisions within that context.
Hire, onboard, and nurture top-level engineering IC talent.
Skills and Experience
Strong written and verbal communication, with a bias to written communication to support async processes in a fully remote and distributed team.
2+ years of engineering management experience or equivalent (you can demonstrate skill at key aspects of building and improving an engineering team, and supporting and developing people's careers).
Ability to debug project execution to identify issues and changes to one or more of people, process, and project scope.
Strong product sensibilities - you can critically navigate product proposal docs and Figma designs and translate them to engineering requirements that span the Metabase product stack, and identify and mitigate risks to building them.
Strong technical background in one of: Clojure or Frontend (React + Typescript) ecosystems.
Main attributes we look for in candidates

We are
open source
and you can check out the code to see what exactly we do. Look at
our roadmap
to see what we plan to build next!

We bring data tools with the elegance and simplicity of consumer products to the crufty world of enterprise business intelligence. We provide an opinionated open source starting point for how companies should measure, analyze and share their data, which is used by tens of thousands of companies.
And there's so much more to do! We're expanding the product in many directions, and continuously reevaluating decisions we made in the past in order to improve every flow and detail. We want to do that faster and even better, so we're looking for outcome-oriented, seasoned Product Designers to join our core team. At Metabase, design directly drives business success: our customers consistently choose us because of our superior UX — meaning your work will be directly responsible for our growth.
Product designers at Metabase are part of a centralized team, working closely with small teams of engineers to design and ship beautiful, simple solutions from beginning to end.
We have a unique design culture:
We focus on solving root problems rather than applying superficial fixes
We care more about a solution “feeling” right than rigidly adhering to “consistency”
We ship iteratively and value real-world outcomes over “perfect” process or glossy internal artifacts
Recent projects our designers have tackled include:
Creating a completely new Documents feature
Envisioning a new way to view, compare, and explore metrics
Creating patterns and surfaces for LLM-based SQL generation, natural language queries, and asynchronous agentic work
Responsibilities
Deliver end-to-end design solutions that are truly elegant, beautiful, fun, and simple.
Push back on complexity creeping into the product.
Use a variety of mediums to communicate what could or should be done, whether it’s LLM-generated prototypes, writing, Figjam diagrams, or high fidelity concepts and solutions.
Pull on engineers and product thinkers to ensure understanding of technical constraints and possibilities.
Iterate rapidly and broadly in scrappy ways that make abstract ideas tangible and which move conversations forward.
Deeply internalize the needs and mindset of our users through insights provided by the broader team. UX research skills aren't needed, but welcome.
Profile
You think in terms of journeys, not screens.
Biased toward building
things,
not slide decks.
Work out-in-the-open instinctively, out of an eagerness to receive feedback, and to riff and iterate with an experienced, skilled team.
Thorough and attentive to detail, with a high internal bar for your craft.
Strong ability to communicate design decisions and rationales through speaking and writing.
Comfortable with asynchronous collaboration, and articulating complex ideas remotely.
Skills and experience
Depth of experience designing solutions for challenging product problems. Your work will rely on research and analytics, but it will shine because of solid instincts and craftsmanship.
Experience designing specifically for large web applications/tools
Technical enough to understand at a high level what's happening inside the engineering black-boxes. (If you don't understand the complexity, how can you simplify it?)
Bonus Qualifications
Experience with LLM-based UI and interaction prototyping
Experience with Web development (HTML, CSS, React)
Technical background or education (CS degree or similar)
Experience building or using developer tools
Compensation
The US base salary range for this role is $93K–$210K annually, plus equity and benefits.
Compensation is determined by role, level, location, and individual qualifications, including skills, experience, and scope of responsibility. Pay may vary by geographic location and other job-related factors.
Benefits
