About Eventual
At Eventual, we recognize that every revolutionary AI application, whether it’s foundational models or autonomous vehicles, depends on the ability to process vast amounts of images, videos, and intricate data. Unfortunately, current data platforms like Databricks and Snowflake are optimized for spreadsheet-like analytics and not for the petabytes of multimodal data essential for AI. This leads to teams squandering months on fragile infrastructure instead of focusing on research and product development.
Founded in 2022, our mission is to transform the way data is queried—whether it’s images, video, audio, or text—making it as straightforward as working with tables, while ensuring scalability for production workloads. Our open-source engine, Daft, is meticulously engineered for real-world AI systems, coordinating with external APIs, managing GPU clusters, and effectively handling failures that traditional engines cannot. Daft is already powering critical workloads at leading companies like Amazon, Mobileye, Together AI, and CloudKitchens.
We have built a world-class team drawn from industry giants such as Databricks, AWS, Nvidia, Pinecone, GitHub Copilot, and Tesla, and we’ve quadrupled in size within just one year. Backed by Series A and seed funding from investors including Felicis, CRV, Microsoft M12, Citi, Essence, Y Combinator, Caffeinated Capital, and Array.vc, we’re now looking to double our team. Join us at Eventual as we embark on this exciting journey!
We're seeking passionate individuals eager to collaborate in a close-knit team environment, working together four days a week at our Mission District office in San Francisco.
