• Help accelerate the adoption of the lakehouse through seamless integrations with a wide range of compute platforms
• Come up with solutions for scaling data systems for various business needs
• Collaborate in a dynamic startup environment

We're excited about you because…

• B.S., M.S., or PhD. in Computer Science or equivalent
• 2+ years of experience with CS fundamental concepts and experience with at least one of the programming languages of Scala, Java, and Python
• You are located or are willing to locate to the Bay Area, Seattle or New York
