Software Engineer I, Data Platform - Seattle

At Qualtrics, we create software the world’s best brands use to deliver exceptional frontline experiences, build high-performing teams, and design products people love. But we are more than a platform—we are the creators and stewards of the Experience Management category serving over 18K clients globally. Building a category takes grit, determination, and a disdain for convention—but most of all it requires close-knit, high-functioning teams with an unwavering dedication to serving our customers.

When you join one of our teams, you’ll be part of a nimble group that’s empowered to set aggressive goals and move fast to achieve them. Strategic risks are encouraged and complex problems are solved together, by passing the mic and iterating until the best solution comes to light. You won’t have to look to find growth opportunities—ready or not, they’ll find you. From retail to government to healthcare, we’re on a mission to bring humanity, connection, and empathy back to business. Join over 5,000 people across the globe who think that’s work worth doing.

Why We Have This Role

  • Attend daily stand-up meetings, collaborate with your peers, prioritize features, serve on an on-call rotation, and consistently deliver value to customers

What We’re Looking For On Your Resume 

  • We expect all of our contributors to have a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field, and to be capable of demonstrating expertise in algorithmic execution, data structures and data modeling, as well as the ability to estimate and deliver on coding objectives. We are looking for exceptional individuals at all experience levels, from junior to principal engineers.
  • Experience with distributed systems and data processing technologies.
  • Strong mathematical and/or computational background.
  • Knowledge of open source/industry standard data processing, storage, and serving technologies.
  • Excellent troubleshooting skills
  • 1-4 years of meaningful engineering experience

What You Should Know About This Team

  • When working on Data Platform, collaboration is essential. You will get the opportunity to work with other teams, and projects on a regular basis.
  • The scale of the problems we are solving means your impact will scale as well. You will have the opportunity to make big impacts on performance, cost, and reliability.
  • The need to scale means ample opportunities to learn about new and upcoming technologies to meet growing customer needs.

Our Team’s Favorite Perks and Benefits

  • Fun and collaborative office environment with in office amenities, food, drinks, outdoor space, and of course, pinball!
