Staff Core Data

Mentimeter is an engagement tool with a clear goal in mind. To turn presentations into conversations. Through real-time interactivity and clear visualizations, we get people to participate, engage and become more productive. Transforming all those passive meetings, airless classrooms and drawn out trainings into valuable and memorable moments.

We truly believe that you achieve the best results by doing things together. And that successful leaders need to adopt a curious and collaborative mindset in order to get there. So with you at Mentimeter, you’ll be a big part of the ambition to help over 1 billion people listen, learn and work better together.

We are hiring a Staff Core Data to own how Mentimeter's products define, emit, and evolve data. This is a senior, hands-on systems role focused on product data semantics, canonical events, and architectural intent. The role is cross-cutting by design. While reporting into Engineering, the mandate spans Product, Data Platform, Analytics, AI, and GTM.

This role exists to turn Mentimeter's product activity into a strategic asset by establishing Core Data as the connective tissue between products, insights, and decisions. This role does not run analytics or platforms. It defines meaning, standards, and direction.

What you'll do

• Establish and evolve Core Data as a first class domain at Mentimeter, defining how product signals are captured, trusted, and turned into insights and decisions across the company
• Act as the founder and steward of Canonical Domain Events, ensuring they become the shared language between products, analytics, and decision making
• Define data contracts at emission, ensuring signals are consistent, trustworthy, and reusable
• Shape architecture intent for how product signals flow into analytics, AI, recommendations, and GTM systems further downstream
• Work closely with product and engineering teams to ensure features are designed with learning and signal quality in mind
• Enable governance through design. Clear models, strong defaults, and explicit tradeoffs rather than process or policing
• Act as a Staff-level reference point for Core Data design across the company

Success criteria

• Mentimeter shifts away from treating a single database as truth, instead grounding decisions in shared, trusted signals expressed through Canonical Domain Events
• New products and features natively emit Canonical Domain Events as part of normal development
• Core Data shortens the loop between product behavior and product decisions

We believe you have

• 8+ years of experience designing and owning data-heavy systems in product-led companies
• Strong systems thinking and comfort reasoning about boundaries, contracts, and long-term evolution
• Hands-on technical credibility. You can read, write, and reason about production code and data models
• Experience working close to product teams, shaping instrumentation and learning loops at the source
• Ability to translate complex systems into clear models others can follow
• Comfort operating in ambiguity and driving clarity through action

What this role is not

• Not a reporting or analytics role
• Not a data platform operations role
• Not a Martech or GTM tooling role
• Not a people-management-first role

Not required

Swedish is not required (as daily work is carried out in English and the Mentimeter team currently boasts 50+ different nationalities)
