Job Details

About the Company:
Our client is building foundational infrastructure for the next generation of AI applications. While many modern platforms are optimized for traditional spreadsheet-style analytics, they fall short when it comes to handling the petabytes of complex, multimodal data—images, video, audio, and text—that cutting-edge AI relies on. As a result, teams often find themselves bogged down by brittle data infrastructure rather than focusing on core research and product development.

Founded in 2022, our client's mission is to make querying any type of data as intuitive as working with tables—while still being powerful enough to handle production-scale workloads. Their open-source engine is designed specifically for real-world AI systems, managing GPU clusters, coordinating with external APIs, and handling edge cases that traditional data engines can't support. Their technology is already used in production by major companies in e-commerce, autonomous vehicles, AI research, and cloud-based services.

Our client is a well-funded Series A startup backed by top-tier investors including Y Combinator and others in the AI and data infrastructure space. The company is scaling quickly and looking to double in size over the coming year. This is a rare opportunity to join a fast-moving team at a formative stage.

Role Overview:

As a Software Engineer, you'll play a central role in building our client's core products and infrastructure. You'll deliver features used immediately by customers and collaborate closely with a small, fast-moving team. While there's strong mentorship available, engineers are expected to scope and solve complex challenges independently.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and develop reliable, scalable features and core systems

• Collaborate cross-functionally with product and customer teams to shape thoughtful, effective solutions

• Write high-quality, maintainable, and extensible code

• Build APIs to power existing and upcoming features in a web-based, bring-your-own-cloud (BYOC) enterprise product

Perks & Benefits:

• In-person, tight-knit team (4 days/week in office)

• Competitive salary and meaningful equity

• Catered lunches and dinners for SF-based employees

• Commuter benefits

• Team events & poker nights

• Health, vision, and dental insurance

• Flexible PTO

• Top-tier Apple equipment

• 401(k) plan with employer match
