We build software that empowers organizations to effectively integrate their data, decisions, and operations. Backed by Founders Fund.
About the role
You will work deep inside the systems that make this possible: how computations are represented, how query plans are optimized, how operators execute, and how data is read and written efficiently. We build on and extend Apache Spark, Apache DataFusion, and Apache Iceberg, bringing advances in open-source engines and table formats into the demanding environments our customers operate in.
What they're looking for
- 4+ years of professional software engineering experience building and operating production systems
- Engineering background in Computer Science, Mathematics, Software Engineering, Physics, or a similar field, or equivalent practical experience
- Strong coding skills with demonstrated proficiency in one or more languages such as Java, Rust, Scala, or C++
- Experience developing database engines, distributed data processing systems, storage systems, or comparable infrastructure, with depth in areas such as query planning, execution, or performance optimization
- Strong foundations in algorithms, data structures, and concurrency, with experience diagnosing correctness and performance problems in complex systems
- Strong written and verbal communication skills and the ability to work effectively across teams, incorporate feedback, and hold a high bar for quality
