Founding Engineer - Platform​/Infra​/Devops

"Would love someone with more experience working in and out of cloud infra, Dev Ops, secops, etc. Someone who wants ownership of the infra stack for the company"

Greybeam is building a way for companies orchestrate their SQL queries between data warehouses and external query engines, automatically selecting the best engine to either 10x performance or 10x query cost reduction (and often both!). Today, We're routing queries between Snowflake and DuckDB, into the future we plan to include Trino, Click House, Star Rocks, etc.

Our vision is to build the destination for data processing-a compute platform that automatically assigns and provisions the best compute engine for each workload.

We're fun, easy going, and we joke around a lot. But we also work a ton and expect you to put your passion, grit, and dedication into all the work that you'll do. You are an early employee and everything you do has outsized impact. We're building a highly technical product that is paving the road into data 3.0, and we would love to work with people who are as passionate and driven about unlocking the multi-engine dream as we are.

We'll laugh together, eat together, work together, and most important of all, we'll have a ton of fun delivering a fricken amazing product to our customers together
