About Chalk Inc.
Chalk Inc. is revolutionizing the data platform landscape to empower the next generation of machine learning applications. We are dismantling traditional barriers of complexity, latency, and scalability that have historically limited ML capabilities. Our platform delivers Rust-speed performance paired with developer-friendly tools, making it the preferred choice for leading companies tackling issues such as preventing fraudulent credit card transactions, identity verification, and optimizing clean energy generation. Recently, we secured a $50 million Series A funding round, led by Felicis.
About the Role
We are seeking exceptional engineers to join our Infrastructure team. This is a unique opportunity to become an early employee in a high-growth startup, where you can make a significant impact. In this role, you will address complex engineering challenges with a high level of autonomy and ownership.
Note: Our team works in the office five days a week. While we are flexible during unavoidable conflicts, this position is not hybrid.
We are looking for a platform engineer with a solid foundation in infrastructure engineering. At Chalk, we tackle challenges from database management systems (DBMS), query planning and optimization, compilers, and distributed analytical data processing systems.
Our team utilizes both dynamic and static analysis of Python programs to optimize arbitrary user Python code, orchestrate infrastructure based on the code structure, and track metadata concerning data flow through these systems.
What You Will Do
- Develop automation code for orchestrating and provisioning infrastructure to execute Chalk technology for our customers and prospects.
- Create a management platform for our hosted services and oversee the deployment of Chalk in customer-owned cloud environments across AWS and GCP.
- Collaborate closely with our Engineering and Sales teams.
- Assist in interviewing and expanding the Engineering team.
What We Are Looking For
- At least 2 years of experience in writing software for automating infrastructure management.
- Proficient in Python, Go, and/or Terraform.
- Experience with AWS and/or GCP.
- Strong collaboration skills.
