ABOUT HEX

Hex is growing our team of builders on a mission to make everyone a data person. Our platform solves key pain points with today’s data and analytics tooling, and empowers anyone to explore data using natural language, with or without code, on trusted context. Thousands of customers like Ramp https://hex.tech/customers/ramp/, Figma https://hex.tech/customers/figma/, Stubhub https://hex.tech/customers/stubhub/, Anthropic, and Gamma love Hex https://www.g2.com/products/hex-tech-hex/reviews for our beautiful UI, agentic superpowers, and boundless flexibility.

Hex has raised over $100M from leading investors like Sequoia, a16z, Snowflake and Amplify. With office hubs in San Francisco and New York, as well as remote team members throughout the US and UK, we’re a high-agency team that ships fast and has fun doing it. Check out our Intro to Hex video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAXsnrNlavk and employee handbook https://www.notion.so/hexhq/Hex-Handbook-9fff0d42860e4f70815c599e0d1664d6 to learn more about what it’s like to work at Hex.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

The shape of data work is changing rapidly, and Hex is the company pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, from the launch of the industry’s first data agent last year, to the first fully generative dashboard experience https://hex.tech/blog/introducing-generative-data-apps/ earlier this year, to building a frontier benchmark measuring analytical prowess https://hex.tech/blog/databench-agentic-analytics-benchmark/. Data teams at Cursor, Clay, Hubspot, Chime, and many more use Hex to empower everyone in their organization to use data with trust and confidence.

Behind all of these innovations is Hex’s AI engineering team: a team that blends research and technology with building incredible products that users can’t live without. We equally love diving deep into the internals of the latest research papers as we do shipping features and working closely with customers.

Our team is an eclectic melange of mathematicians, recovering marketers, Data People, poker players, and one person who communicates exclusively via Bufo emojis. We are looking for our first leader – if this sounds exciting, we’d love to hear from you!

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.

This is a full-time role based out of either our San Francisco or New York office. Employees are encouraged to come into the office at least twice a week, with Tuesdays and Thursdays being our main in-person days.

The salary range for this role is: $300,375 - $425,000

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 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. Our Recruiting team will be able to provide more details during the interview process.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
