Tasks

• Full-Stack Innovation Development : You will design, prototype, and deliver new features across backend (PHP) and frontend (JS) that extend Matomo’s capabilities. Python and node.js may be involved too.
• Rapid Prototyping & Validation : Quickly test new product ideas — including but not limited to AI / insights — and validate them with real-world use cases.
• End-to-End Ownership : Own ideas end-to-end, from concept through deployment.
• Product-Centric Engineering : Think beyond code — consider usability, scalability, security, and long-term value when shaping new features.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration : Collaborate directly with Matomo’s co-founders and senior engineers using Slack, Jira and Confluence.
• Autonomous Execution : Operate effectively in a small, lean team with minimal oversight, driving projects forward independently.
• Impediment Management : Proactively identify and resolve blockers to progress; escalate appropriately when outside support is needed to keep innovation moving.
• Exploration Beyond AI : Identify and develop innovation opportunities across analytics, visualization, integrations, and user experience — not just AI.
• Knowledge Sharing : Document and communicate concepts, prototypes, and learnings to spread innovation practices across the company.
• Continuous Learning : Stay current with emerging technologies, frameworks, and product trends to bring fresh perspectives into Matomo.
