Intelligent Personal Cloud Storage. Backed by Y Combinator and Felicis.
About the role
We are looking to grow from a team of three (we've accomplished a lot as just two engineers and one designer!) to a clan of around eight, so you'll be anywhere from engineer #3 to #7. You'll be tasked with bringing Poly to life as a robust platform, shaping our cloud architecture to store files at breathtaking speed and scale, and improving our AI architecture to become the "search engine for your life".
What they're looking for
- Core software design and architectural considerations in developing a globally distributed, highly available file storage service that lets you collaborate, version control, and much more without ever fearing data loss
- Experience designing database schemas to be fast, efficient, flexible, and ergonomic, empowering your team to build upon your work seamlessly
- In this role, experience with AI modeling or training is not required, though it is still highly desirable
- An extreme appetite for learning that you've honed through recursive self-improvement. You should be able to demonstrate an exceptional aptitude for automating your own development processes
- You thrive in independent, inter-disciplinary environments, and you are skilled at collaborating across domains and for productively engaging with people of all kinds
- You are willing to leave judgments about gender, race, creed, background, belief, or politics for outside of the workplace so that we can focus on building the world's best file storage platform for everyone

- We’re maximally multimodal. We support any audio, video, document, office file, slide deck, text file, PDF, and a whole lot more. We even support saving web links and youtube videos to your Poly file system and asking the AI about them.
- We’re completely, 100% cross-platform -- Our product looks identical across web and desktop, with zero compromises in the UI/UX, and...
