As a developer, I used to think it didn’t matter what product I worked on as long as I worked with great people. However, I've learned that I have to be working on something that contributes to the industry and the world in a meaningful way. InfluxData builds products that help developers store, parse, and understand large datasets to extract meaningful information, which is incredibly valuable in today's data-driven era. The company's core values of humility and embracing failure resonate with me, as I've struggled to embody these qualities in the past. I'm heartened to find a company that understands the importance of humility and failure as foundational aspects of learning and thriving.
