Our mission is fulfilled through the development and operation of a world-class data and AI infrastructure platform, enabling our customers to leverage deep data insights to transform their businesses.
Founded by engineers and driven by a strong customer focus, we enthusiastically embrace every opportunity to confront technical challenges, whether it’s innovating next-generation UI/UX for data interfacing or scaling our infrastructure across millions of virtual machines. Our journey has just begun.
Our engineering teams are tasked with creating highly technical products that address significant real-world needs. We manage and operate one of the most extensive software platforms, consisting of millions of virtual machines, generating terabytes of logs and processing exabytes of data daily. At our scale, we frequently encounter cloud hardware, network, and operating system faults, and our software must adeptly shield our customers from these issues.
Unity Catalog serves as our platform's native unified and open governance solution for data and AI, breaking down silos, simplifying governance, and accelerating insights at scale. We are seeking a Senior Staff Software Engineer to lead the technical efforts for Unity Catalog Runtime Enforcement.
