We are currently seeking a Senior Software Engineer II to join our Self-Serve Productivity team. This is a fullstack role with a frontend lean, focused on building and extending Portal — Instacart's central hub for everything data. You'll partner closely with data scientists, data engineers, analysts, and product engineers to design and ship the tools they use every day to discover, understand, and trust data. You'll have meaningful ownership over user-facing surfaces that touch the entire company.
The mission of the Instacart Self-Serve team is to improve the productivity of data practitioners through easy-to-use, self-serve tools. The Productivity sub-team owns Portal (data discovery, lineage, metadata, data quality), our semantic layer (Medusa), and a number of supporting systems built on dbt and Airflow. Portal is going through significant UI investment — including a homepage/dashboard redesign and deeper integration across the data infra ecosystem — making this a high-impact time to join.
