Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2025)
Metabase | https://metabase.com/ | REMOTE | Full-time | Frontend and Backend Engineers
Metabase is an open source (https://github.com/metabase/metabase) business intelligence software that lets anyone in your company rummage around in the databases you have. It connects to a number of databases / data warehouses (BigQuery, Redshift, Snowflake, Postgres, MySQL, etc).
Here's a dashboard about us: https://stats.metabase.com/public/dashboard/92d6b7ea-7526-48...
People rather like the product (https://metabase.com/love). We're a remote team full of people who care about user experience, making complicated things as simple as possible and building things. We have a deeply pragmatic engineering culture and value building things that people actually use vs whatever closes a deal or makes for a good press release.
Tech stack: Clojure on the backend, Typescript and React on the frontend
We've posted in several "Who is hiring" threads in the past with good success, we hired quite a few folks from these posts!

Ask HN: What is the most impressive test suite youve ever worked with
I've found the Metabase test suite[0] to be very good considering it's real-world software written by a for-profit company. Coverage is good, the correct tests usually break when doing a refactor (stuff like "Oh, I thought this change was harmless but actually it breaks the permissions model"), etcetera. But the most important thing is that there's a strong team culture of a) demanding good tests on each PR b) hunting down flaky tests and other sources of friction.
Another neat thing was that there used to be a full-time SDET who spent a lot of time writing Cypress reproductions for known bugs. When you picked up the bug, you could un-skip the test that was right there waiting for you.
All that said, of course it's far from perfect!
0: https://github.com/metabase/metabase/ Backend unit tests are in test/, Frontend unit tests are in frontend/test, end-to-end tests (Cypress) are in e2e.
