- You lead technical design discussions, write and review technical design documents, and provide technical guidance and directions to the larger engineering team
- Expertise in relational databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL
- You are proficient in designing, implementing, and deploying RESTful APIs and you have experience with (non)relational and vector databases
- Experience using Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, GCP
- You demonstrate good judgment when making architectural decisions and you understand how those decisions fit into the bigger picture

Otta's take
Theo Margolius
COO of Otta
The integration of market data into the many functions of enterprise has been a consistent trend in SaaS markets for a number of years. Klue is taking a similar approach for teams looking to understand competitive landscapes.
The startup is uniquely attempting to create a new category of ‘competitive enablement software’. Whereas other software companies sought to fix a company’s business intelligence needs or content placement strategies, Klue brings all of these services together under the lens of competitive positioning.
Klue plans to find ways to reduce the burden of collecting intel and also automate insights. The company wants to introduce deeper integrations with enterprise tools like Slack, Salesforce, Gong, Highspot and Gainsights.
The biggest risk facing the company is that their product is currently more enterprise friendly, supported by customer specialists. For the software company to achieve true scale, they will want to democratise access to competitive enablement with a self-serve software available to small businesses.
