About the Project:

The Project is a fast-growing UK-based startup building a next-generation acceleration engine for Apache Spark, used in large-scale data infrastructure worldwide.

At petabyte scale, even small inefficiencies in data processing translate into massive infrastructure costs. The Project is solving this by developing a novel engine that dramatically accelerates Spark workloads without requiring changes from data teams.

• $4.5M seed funding
• Founded in 2021, already in production
• Founders from top-tier tech companies (including Apple)
• Focus: Big Data, performance optimization, compilers
• Full-time, remote

Requirements:

• 7+ years of overall commercial software development experience
• Scala: 3+ years of experience
• C++: 2+ years of experience
• В2+ English (active communication in meetings)

Responsibilities:

• Own SQL acceleration features end-to-end — from design to implementation and measurable performance impact
• Implement and optimize Big Data processing algorithms across Scala, Java, and C++
• Develop performance-critical components at the intersection of Big Data and compilers
• Work with custom DSL and code generation systems to extend query execution capabilities
• Contribute to cross-language integrations (Java ↔ C++ via JNI) and overall system performance improvements

Why This Role is Exciting:

• Real impact on petabyte-scale data processing
• Combination of high-level (Scala/SQL) and low-level (C++) engineering
• Work on cutting-edge challenges at the intersection of Big Data + compilers
• Product already in production with strong funding and growth potential
