Principal Backend Developer
At Eppo, we are building the future of experimentation, so that every company can have an entrepreneurial, customer oriented culture.
Our next-gen feature flagging and experimentation platform allows data, product and ML teams to run 10x more experiments with existing infrastructure and headcount. We dramatically lower the overhead of running AB experiments by automating all of the experiment operations work, and wrapping the results in collaborative workflows.
Our team is made up of veteran product builders from Airbnb, Snowflake and Slack, and our product is powering experimentation at some of top companies around the world. We’ve raised over $19M in Seed and Series A funding backed by top-tier venture firms like Menlo VC and Amplify Partners.

About the Role
We are looking for a senior backend developer who is interested in working with big data systems.
