Original posting

Ocient | Backend Senior/Principal/Distinguished Software Engineer | Full-time | $130-215k+ plus stock options | USA, Chicago or Remote (US) | https://ocient.com We're building a petabyte-scale distributed database for analytics (OLAP) workloads, with an emphasis on low-level performance optimizations. Our approach is to build nearly everything from scratch, including custom distributed storage systems, filesystems, task schedulers, consensus protocols, and an advanced SQL stats engine and query planner/optimizer. As an engineer here, you'll tackle really challenging problems and work with huge systems but also get the pride of ownership and autonomy that comes with a startup. We currently have about 50 engineers on the team. Our Stack: Modern C++, Linux, Bazel, Python, etc. Apply at https://ocient.com/careers. Send your questions to starzia at ocient.com.
