Software Engineer, Product

About Eventual

Eventual is a data platform that helps data scientists and engineers build data applications across ETL, analytics and ML/AI.

OUR PRODUCT IS OPEN-SOURCE AND USED AT ENTERPRISE SCALE

Our distributed data engine Daft is open-sourced and runs on 800k CPU cores daily. This is more compute than Frontier, the world's largest supercomputer!

Today's data tooling (Spark, Presto, Snowflake) was built for a world of tabular data analytics, but does not generalize to the needs of modern ML/AI such as multimodal data, heterogenous compute and user-defined Python algorithms.

Eventual and Daft bridge that gap, making ML/AI workloads easy to run alongside traditional tabular workloads.

Key Responsibilities

As a Software Engineer on the product team, you will be an early member Eventual with primary responsibilities around building out key features for our open-sourced data engine, Daft.

You will be working on core features of Daft across the entire stack from the Daft frontend API and dashboard to its distributed scheduler and low-level Rust execution engine.

Our goal is to build the world’s best open-source distributed query engine, and your work will play a key role in realizing that vision.

We are a young startup - so be prepared to wear many hats such as tinkering with infrastructure, talking to customers and participating heavily in the core design process of our product!

What we look for

We are looking for a candidate with a strong foundation in fullstack engineering and with an obsessive focus on users.

Our ideal candidate has:

1. 5+ years of experience working with fullstack engineering (web applications, cloud infrastructure, databases etc)

2. Proven experience in building and delivering core product features with a strong focus on user obsession, including direct collaboration with clients to gather requirements, manage feedback, and provide timely support.

3. A unique startup growth mindset of responsibly take on tech debt for velocity and building for future extensibility

4. Familiarity and experience with cloud technologies (e.g. AWS S3 etc)

Most importantly, we are looking for someone who works well in small, focused teams with fast iterations and lots of autonomy. If you are passionate, intellectually curious and excited to build the next generation of distributed data technologies, we want you on the team!

Benefits and Remote Work

We are believers in both having the flexibility of remote work but also the importance of in-person work, especially at the earliest stages of a startup. We have a flexible hybrid approach to in-person work with at least 3 days of in-person work typically from Monday - Wednesday at our office in San Francisco.

We believe in providing employees with best-in-class compensation and benefits including meal allowances, Unlimited PTO, conferences, comprehensive health coverage including medical, dental, vision and more.
