Our Client

Our client exists to change the face of analytics computing; to accelerate performance, scale, and simplicity for data-intensive applications. Ultimately, they strive to change how the world will compute. And they’re looking for ambitious, hungry, talented engineers to help drive this change.

Their technology provides automatic parallelization and massive scale for analytics workloads, improving performance by 10x-100x, yet reducing aggregate operating expenses. This allows data engineers and data scientists to focus on solving business problems instead of dealing with the scalability and performance of their code.

Their mission has been endorsed by investments from Dell Technologies, from data platform providers such as Snowflake, and from special-purpose hardware providers such as Xilinx. Not to mention by ecstatic adoption by Fortune-10 customers.

Our client is the culmination of years of research in academia and industry and brings High Performance Computing (HPC) to data analytics for the first time. This is an opportunity to work with the creators of the first auto-parallelization compiler technology, which has long been a “holy grail” for researchers working on simplifying computing performance. Their mission - and hopefully yours - is to democratize access to parallel computing, and to accelerate data insights, ML, and AI in ways the industry can’t yet imagine. Join the team!

About the Role

Fresh off their Series A and announcement of a partnership with Snowflake, our client is looking for a Senior - Staff Software Engineer, Platform Service. This requires a strong entrepreneurship spirit and the ability to turn challenging technical ideas into reality.
