HN Jobs

M U INC | Senior Data Engineer (aka "Director of I/O Bound Stuff") | Austin, TX | ONSITE | Full Time | 100K-130K + EQUITY We are a small independent startup (fully funded by our MVP's proceeds) focused on managing, enriching and presenting large and complex energy data. Our technical capabilities translate DIRECTLY into commercial success, we are thus obsessed with coupling Engineering Excellence with Pragmatism. We strive to continuously "co-optimize" architecture and technical decisions with the company's long term business strategy. Our MVP has been extremely successful. We are actively looking for someone ready to develop and take charge of our next generation Data Platform. We've fallen in love with Martin Kleppmann's "Building Data-Intensive Applications" book and his "Turning the database inside-out..." [0] talk. We envision building a Kappa Architecture from scratch, leveraging Kafka for the Stream Processing, and Rust (another thing we fell in love with) for the compute/serving layer. This streaming platform will become the data backbone of our business, feeding the different aspects of our business. Just so you know, we also use a lot of Python and are deployed to the cloud with Docker/Kubernetes. You will report directly to the CEO and become a pillar of the company. Our success and your success will be extremely aligned as you will be making substantial contributions to our business (data is critical for us). We have a nice office in Downtown Austin, with a gym, treats and all... but that's probably not the reason why you would love it :p At any rate, let's talk!
