About the role

We're looking for a software engineer who loves to build high performance data processing systems.

You will play a significant role in the foundational system architecture, technology choices, and implementation. Our founding team has deep expertise in database and ML systems, and you'll be empowered to both collaborate closely with them and explore your own ideas.
