Director, Software Engineer Data Processing Engine Orchestration
Role Overview
DataPelago is at the forefront of revolutionizing data processing for traditional analytics and cutting-edge GenAI preprocessing. We are building an innovative data processing engine that is transforming how Apache Spark, Apache Flink, Ray and others operate on diverse, large-scale data. Our team of engineers drive and adopt advances in hardware-accelerated computing, parallel processing of large-scale data, query optimization, distributed systems, compilers, machine learning, and cloud-native computing. We are looking for specialists to join our engineering team and shape the future of accelerated data processing. DataPelago Nucleus is a universal data processing engine that is designed to accelerate the processing of diverse data – structured through unstructured – with any parallel processing framework – e.g., Apache Spark – on any infrastructure – including vectorized CPU and GPU. DataPelago Accelerator for Spark (DPA-S), our product based on DataPelago Nucleus, is running large-scale production applications of many globally renowned customers. The Opportunity: As senior development leader of DataPelago data processing engine orchestration, you will spearhead the development and delivery of innovative capabilities in the planning, optimization, and coordination of complex workloads on large-scale distributed systems. The orchestration layer drives distributed execution plans adapted to the capabilities of the processing elements in the infrastructure, towards minimizing execution duration and cost. You will be responsible for growing and advancing the development team, development methodologies, and product capabilities. a key individual contributor in adopting and advancing capabilities of open-source software (OSS) platforms such as Apache Gluten, Velox, Apache Spark, and Apache Flink in the context of DataPelago’s data processing engine. You will enhance functional breadth, performance, scale, and reliability of the DataPelago engine through downstream and upstream contributions. You will have the opportunity to engage with community working on these platforms. This is a unique opportunity to make a significant impact on a category-defining product and work with a talented team of engineers.
