Doowii is building a conversational analytics platform for education. We enable non-technical users to query complex datasets using natural language, accelerating decision making, data exploration, and intervention planning. Doowii sits at the intersection of data infrastructure, AI, and education.
This role is focused on building the core product experience for Doowii users. You’ll be tackling opportunities and projects core to the Doowii interface and backend:
- users asking questions
- model evaluation and improvement to improve responses to those questions
- systems configuration and optimization to support our responses
- data structure and analysis so answers are returned accurately and quickly
Doowii engineering is critical in the end-to-end development of the Doowii platform, applications, and systems, from designing the user interface to managing our systems and infrastructure.
- Build interfaces for querying and exploring data
- Translate complex workflows into simple user experiences
- Design and implement user interfaces (UI) and user experiences (UX)
- Partner with ML, product, and frontend engineers to ship AI-driven features (LLM text-to-SQL, embeddings, feature stores, LLM-driven data modeling)
- Develop APIs that power real-time data interactions
- Ensure performance and scalability of user-facing systems
- Configure and manage Doowii’s cloud platforms (AWS, GCP)
- Optimize how queries are executed and results returned
- Design and maintain data models (star, wide-table, or Iceberg-native) to support real-time and batch analytics
- Optimize storage + query performance; keep infra costs lean
- Develop and maintain ingestion pipelines (NiFi 2.0 → Kafka → Iceberg → BigQuery) end-to-end
- BS in computer engineering (or similar field with 6+ years of experience)
- 3+ years of full-stack experience
- Strong frontend skills (JavaScript/TypeScript, modern frameworks)
- Backend experience (Python preferred)
- Experience with APIs and SQL
- Experience with schema evolution, CDC, and high-throughput streaming
- Bias for automation, clear documentation, and fast iteration in a startup environment
- Masters in computer engineering
- Experience with AI model/agent development and LLM evaluation
- Experience building data-heavy or analytics products
- Strong product intuition and UX thinking
- Experience with performance optimization
- Hands-on with at least two of: Kafka or Pub/Sub, Apache NiFi, Airflow, Mage.AI, Beam, Spark, Flink, dbt, Iceberg/ClickHouse
The base pay range for this role is $130,000 – $165,000 per year.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
