Jellyfish is the backbone for elite engineering organizations, and we are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our team and turn our rich data into high impact features that solve real problems for our customers. You’ll leverage existing platform capabilities while acting as a critical internal customer, providing feedback that shapes the roadmap of our core data platform. If you are passionate about data storytelling, building performant user-facing data products, and collaborating with platform teams to unlock new capabilities, you’re the perfect fit.

What You’ll Actually Be Doing:

  • You’ll join a small, highly collaborative team that works together to define questions for user research, experiment with internal data, and produce prototypes to validate ideas. You’ll engage with internal and external users, and have the opportunity to engage in all phases of product development.

  • Your work will primarily involve Python, Databricks, and Postgres, with occasional excursions into SQL. You’ll develop deep knowledge of the data in our catalogue, and help set priorities for new data sources. You’ll partner with a data scientist and another software engineer to try out data transformations that result in insightful and useful metrics.

  • You’ll work closely with our platform teams as they build the pipelines, components, and APIs we’ll rely on. You’ll write requirements docs and proposals, and engage in synchronous collaboration with the teams building our core data pipelines. You care about being a thoughtful and communicative partner for the platform teams.

You’re a great fit:
  • Product-Minded Data Engineer – You have solid, hands-on production experience with Python, SQL, and data transformation concepts. You are comfortable working in Postgres and in modern data warehouses, ideally Databricks.

  • Cross-Functional Collaborator – You thrive on cross-functional teams, with access to user research, and think critically about solving problems. You identify quick ways to test hypotheses and break apart complex projects into manageable pieces.

  • Internal Platform Advocacy – You act as an internal customer for our platform teams, providing high-quality feedback that shapes the roadmap and improves the overall product ecosystem.

  • AI Native Engineer – You use AI tools effectively, and you’re eager to experiment with new ways of working. You’ll use our tools to evaluate those changes, improving both our workflows and our measurement tools.

A list of job experiences and qualification requirements is great, but humility, a performance-driven attitude, and a team-player approach are most important to us. We love to have fun and win in the process. We only hire people who have a passion for building great companies in an environment where a sense of humor is a must.

Occasional travel may be required.

Applicants must be authorized to work for any employer in the US. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment visa at this time.

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
