Software Engineer - Systems
TLDR
Build a fast analytical database for multimodal, multi-rate data streams using low-level, high-performance software and cloud-scale storage systems.
About Spiral
Spiral builds a fast analytical database for multimodal, multi-rate data streams, on top of the open source Vortex file format. Our users are AI/ML researchers and AI infra engineers developing models in complex domains, such as weather & climate, financial, time-series, genomics, point-clouds, videos, and images. They spend their days waiting on data loaders, writing video or sensor data pipelines, and watching expensive GPUs sit idle on I/O. We make that pain go away.
What we're looking for:
We’re looking for exceptional engineers with deep experience in low-level, high-performance software and cloud-scale storage systems.
5+ years of experience writing high-quality production code
Strong foundation in operating systems and systems programming
Proven track record in performance engineering
Familiarity with tools like Apache Arrow, Parquet, DataFusion, Clickhouse, or DuckDB is a plus
Understanding of cutting-edge ML infrastructure stack (e.g. PyTorch, CUDA) is also a plus
Experience with Rust is a bonus
Willingness to work in-person at our NYC, SF, or London office
Spiral creates a fast analytical database tailored for multimodal, multi-rate data streams, leveraging the open-source Vortex file format. Our focus is on AI/ML researchers and infrastructure engineers who work in complex fields—like finance, climate science, and genomics—helping them eliminate bottlenecks in data loading and processing so they can maximize the potential of their expensive computational resources.
