SQL Engineer:

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:

• Build out core capabilities for Daft’s SQL parser and query optimizer

• Flesh out DDL and DML operations for Daft SQL

• Build a first-class user experience for SQL including error messages, syntax highlighting, autocompletion, documentation and guides

• Architect core components of the Daft query engine to work with advanced SQL concepts such as correlated subqueries, self-joins and more

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.

• Experience working with SQL parsing and query planning.

• Familiarity with data warehousing concepts and ETL tools.

• Understanding of database design principles and best practices.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

• Excellent communication and teamwork abilities.

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, comprehensive health coverage including medical, dental, vision and more.
