Staff Software Engineer, SQL Query Engine - Bodo｜Meet.jobs

About the jobBodo is the next-generation SQL and Python data processing platform powered by advanced compilers and MPI parallelization technologies. We plan to radically transform data infrastructure by providing 10x-100x improvements in speed, scale, and cost efficiency.

 And we’re looking for ambitious, resourceful, and talented engineers to help drive this change. 

Built from years of research by compilers and High-Performance Computing (HPC) experts, Bodo brings C++/MPI levels of performance and efficiency to data applications for the first time without any new language API layers or performance tuning. This allows data engineers and data scientists to focus on solving business problems instead of dealing with the scalability and performance of their code. 

Since our founding in 2019, Bodo.ai has raised over $26 million with endorsements and investments from Dell Technologies Capital, Snowflake, KDT Ventures, Xilinx, and various VC firms. Not to mention by ecstatic adoption by Fortune-10 customers. 

This is an opportunity to work with the creators of the first auto-parallelization compiler technology, which has long been a “holy grail” for researchers working on simplifying computing performance. Our mission—and hopefully yours—is to democratize access to parallel computing and to accelerate data insights, ML, and AI in ways the industry can’t yet imagine. Join our diverse team of talented individuals and work on a product with deeply differentiated technology. 

Bodo is looking for a Staff+ Software Engineer with a passion for large-scale SQL query engines to develop Bodo’s revolutionary data platform. This requires a strong entrepreneurship spirit, extensive software design experience, and the ability to turn challenging technical ideas into reality. As a senior software engineer, you will be crafting software and services that are orders of magnitude faster than competitors while also much easier to use. We believe our technology is going to have a significant impact on the future of big data analytics.
