| Department | Open |
|---|---|
| Go To Market | 12 |
| Engineering | 9 |
| Product | 4 |
| Marketing | 2 |
| People Operations | 2 |
| Internship | 1 |
Of 28 open roles, the largest group is Go To Market (11). Most are post-sale and technical customer roles: 3 CX engineers, 3 account managers and 2 forward-deployed roles, against 1 new-logo AE and 2 creator/student programmes. However, the recruiter posting screens for enterprise AEs and PLG sellers. Engineering (9) pairs data and ML builds with platform reliability roles (SDET, DevOps, two Senior Backend) and one internal IT role.
Seniority: Mostly senior (9) and mid-level (7) roles, plus 2 director, 2 manager, 3 junior, 1 intern and 3 with no level stated.
Skills named most: Python, AWS, Kubernetes, Docker, Spark, SQL, Kafka, CI/CD pipelines, REST APIs, data pipelines, Apache Ranger, AI agents
Locations: Most roles are hybrid or onsite in Bangalore or Santa Clara, CA. Four are remote: Account Executive - Strategic (Remote in San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, Seattle), Customer Account Manager - Strategic - West (Remote in San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, San Diego, Seattle, New York), and two remote-global programmes (HackerRank Creator Program and Campus Crew Ambassador).
If you're applying: Pick the cluster that matches your background and tailor your application to the quoted requirements, such as data pipeline work for the data roles or support automation for the CX roles. Check the location line, since most roles are hybrid or onsite.
If you're selling or recruiting: Four roles opened in the last 30 days and none closed, so the account is actively hiring. Open Go To Market roles lean toward post-sale and technical customer work, though the recruiter posting screens for enterprise AEs and PLG sellers, so more sales hiring may follow. Lead with the matching cluster: data and ML roles for engineering leaders, CX roles for support leaders, and FDE and strategic account roles for customer success and enterprise leaders.
