About the Role

Join a fast-moving, NYC-based AI-native data infrastructure company building the next generation of agentic analytics. This is a greenfield opportunity to architect and build a scalable OLAP lakehouse platform that turns messy enterprise data into trustworthy, actionable answers at scale for data-intensive organizations. As a Senior Software Engineer on the Distributed Data Systems team, you'll own core platform components end-to-end, focusing on query performance and join optimization. The company is well-funded (Series A/B stage) and backed by notable strategic investors. Hiring decisions can be made within 72 hours of an onsite interview, and interview travel is covered. Visa sponsorship is available.

Responsibilities

  • Work on a greenfield OLAP lakehouse project, building the data platform for the agentic era.
  • Design and implement distributed data system components with a strong focus on join optimization and query performance.
  • Collaborate across infrastructure, services, and frontend to deliver end-to-end data platform features.
  • Ship reliable, scalable data infrastructure that powers enterprise-grade analytics at scale.
  • Contribute from zero to one in an early-stage, high-ownership environment.

Requirements

  • 4+ years of experience as a data systems, backend, infrastructure, or platform engineer.
  • Experience building products from zero to one; prior startup experience strongly preferred.
  • Experience with distributed systems.
  • Experience with big data systems (Apache Spark, Hadoop).
  • Experience with databases (relational, columnar, or otherwise).
  • Strong foundation in algorithms and data structures and their real-world applications.
  • Experience with OLAP lakehouse / data lakehouse architecture and query optimization.
  • Comfortable diving into any layer of the stack — infrastructure, services, or frontend.
  • Passion for building robust, scalable, and easy-to-use systems.
  • Background at companies working on data platforms, query engines, or AI/ML infrastructure.
