About the job
Software Engineer - New Graduate at Eventual (San Francisco, CA)
About Eventual
At Eventual, we empower developers to create the next generation of AI systems by seamlessly integrating multi-modal data and models. Every innovative AI application—from foundational models to autonomous vehicles—depends on processing vast amounts of images, videos, and complex datasets. However, current data platforms like Databricks and Snowflake are tailored for traditional spreadsheet-like analytics, not the petabytes of multi-modal data essential for AI.
Founded in 2022, our mission is to transform the way data—be it images, video, audio, or text—is utilized, making it as intuitive as working with tables while ensuring scalability to support production workloads. Our open-source engine, Daft, is specifically designed for real-world AI systems, coordinating with external APIs, managing GPU clusters, and addressing failures that traditional engines cannot handle.
Already, Daft supports crucial workloads at industry leaders like Amazon, Mobileye, Together AI, and CloudKitchens. With backing from Y Combinator, Caffeinated Capital, Array.vc, and prominent angels including co-founders of Databricks and Perplexity, we are just beginning our journey—and we invite you to join us.
Please note: This position is full-time and based in our San Francisco office (Mission District). We prioritize in-person collaboration, requiring our engineers to be in the office at least 4 days a week.
Your Role
As a Software Engineering New Graduate, you will collaborate with our engineering team to contribute to Eventual’s core products and our open-source engine. You will gain practical experience in building distributed data systems and products, while learning to design, implement, and test features that support real-world AI and ML workloads.
You will receive mentorship from our diverse team (ex-Databricks, AWS, Nvidia, Tesla, GitHub Copilot, Pinecone) and have the chance to make impactful contributions that reach production.
Key Responsibilities
Assist in developing features for Eventual’s distributed query engine.
Contribute to the development of Eventual’s cloud service.
Write clean, maintainable code with guidance from senior engineers.
Collaborate with the team to design and implement solutions for real-world data challenges.
Help with testing, debugging, and documenting core system components.
What We Look For
A recent graduate or within 1 year of graduation in Computer Science or related field.
Strong understanding of programming languages such as Python, Java, or Scala.
Familiarity with distributed systems and cloud computing concepts.
Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment.
Eagerness to learn and adapt in a fast-paced environment.
