Senior Software Engineer

We’re building the complete data stack for AI — exascale object store, table store, agent memory, and brain: every layer of how AI stores, retrieves, and thinks over data. Hard problems with no existing answers. Bring your own.

What you will do:

You’ll own problems end-to-end — the kind most engineering teams never get close to. No ticket queues, no standups, no permission. Just you, the codebase, and a team of people who care as much as you do. Everyone here is an IC, an architect, or a lead — most are all three.

Your Skills and Experience:

Deep OS internals. Networking from the socket layer up. Strong opinions on memory, concurrency, and correctness — and the humility to revise them. You’ve debugged something no one else could reproduce.You’ve read source code not because you had to, but because it was bothering you.

Key Competencies:

Fluent in ≥2 languages, honest about tradeoffs

You debug by understanding, not by guessing

Grit: you start hard things and finish them

Curiosity you genuinely can’t switch off

Low ego, extremely high standards

You write code the next engineer respects
