## Job description

## About Tessera Labs

Tessera Labs is redefining how enterprises adopt and operationalize Artificial Intelligence. Backed by Foundation Capital and led by a world-class founding team, we build multi-agent AI systems that automate complex business workflows across platforms such as SAP, Salesforce, Workday, Snowflake, MuleSoft, and more. Our mission is to bring real AI automation to the enterprise—delivering speed, precision, and measurable impact. We operate with extreme ownership, move quickly, and build at the frontier of applied AI. We're backed by Andreessen Horowitz and Foundation Capital, and built by leaders from Meta AI, Google Research, Microsoft AI, SAP, Oracle, and Salesforce. We move fast, operate with extreme ownership, and build at the frontier of applied AI. Our ethos in one line: enterprise serious, AI forward.

## About the role

We’re looking for a Data Platform Engineer to build the software that connects enterprise systems and makes their data usable across applications, analytics, and AI. You’ll work at the intersection of backend engineering and data systems, building reusable capabilities for connecting to, querying, moving, and processing data. This role is open to remote candidates, with a preference for those based in the Bay Area.

## What you’ll do

- At least 2+ years of experience as a Data Platform Engineer
- Build core data platform capabilities. Develop services and APIs for data access, query execution, ingestion, and synchronization.
- Make integrations reusable. Build connector frameworks and abstractions that support different systems and access patterns without requiring bespoke implementations.
- Improve performance and resource efficiency. Identify bottlenecks in querying and data movement; apply partitioning, parallelism, and effective memory and storage management.
- Own execution reliability. Build orchestration, retries, checkpointing, and observability so workloads recover predictably from failures and maintain data correctness.
- Take capabilities from design to production. Work with product and engineering teams to define interfaces, make architectural tradeoffs, and operate what you build.

## What you’ll bring

- Strong Python and SQL, with experience building maintainable, tested production software.
- Experience developing backend services, data infrastructure, or data platform components, beyond configuring pipelines.
- A solid understanding of relational databases, query optimization, data formats, and the tradeoffs between querying data in place and materializing it elsewhere.
- Experience with concurrent or distributed workloads, including failure handling, resource management, and performance debugging.
- The ability to investigate unfamiliar systems and turn complex requirements into clear, practical designs.

## Nice to have

- Experience with analytical query engines, lakehouse technologies, workflow orchestration, enterprise-system integrations, or containerized infrastructure.
- Experience building connector libraries, developer-facing APIs, or shared platforms used by other engineering teams is especially relevant.
- Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, or GCP), including networking, storage, identity and access management (IAM), and infrastructure as code.

## Why Tessera Labs

- Build AI products that solve complex, real-world enterprise problems
- Work at the intersection of AI, ERP systems, and automation
- High ownership, high impact, and direct influence on product direction
- Collaborate with a deeply technical and customer-focused team

## Products & Services
- **Tessera Platform (Multi-Agent AI)**: An AI-native, vendor-agnostic platform that automates data harmonization, code remediation, cross-system orchestration, and governance for ERP and connected systems. It compresses modernization timelines from years to weeks and reduces costs by more than half. [tesseralabs.ai](https://www.tesseralabs.ai/)

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Vendor-agnostic platform** that works across SAP, Salesforce, Workday, and Oracle – avoiding lock-in unlike ERP vendor tools or point solutions.
- **Pre-trained on thousands of enterprise landscapes** and backed by deep expertise (founders and leadership have backgrounds at SAP, Oracle, Google, Stanford AI Lab).
- **Governance-first design**: every action is logged and traceable, built for regulated industries and audit compliance.
- **Speed vs. incumbents**: compresses timelines by ~90% compared to traditional system integrators, and costs by more than half.

## Strategic Focus
- **Current priorities**: Scaling the enterprise customer base, deepening multi-agent AI capabilities, and expanding the partner ecosystem. Hiring heavily across engineering, product, and consulting to support rapid go-to-market.
- **Direction for growth**: Continue to displace legacy system integrators and internal IT teams with an AI-first, governed approach to ERP modernization. Target large-scale SAP S/4HANA migrations, CRM/HCM harmonizations, and connected-system orchestration.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture highlights**: Described as “enterprise serious, AI forward” – a blend of deep enterprise gravity and cutting-edge AI research. Team includes PhDs, ex-Google/Microsoft/Netflix engineers, and former SAP directors.
- **Remote/hybrid/office policy**: Not explicitly stated, but headquarters in San Jose (CA) and Palo Alto, and job postings suggest a mix of on-site and remote flexibility (e.g., multiple backend engineer roles, a Technical Program Manager). Expect hybrid with a strong in-office core.
- **Notable perks or engineering culture**: Working on the frontier of enterprise AI with real-world impact on massive transformation projects. Opportunity to shape a new category of software. Leadership includes one of UC San Diego’s youngest PhDs and a YC alumnus.
- **Open technical roles**: Backend engineers, data engineers (ERP data harmonization), DevOps, product design, SAP consultants – 38 open positions as of mid-2026. [jobs.ashbyhq.com/tessera-labs](https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/tessera-labs)
