Timeline:
Below is a rough timeline of where you can expect to be at different points during your career path starting in this position.

Upon Joining:

Spending time learning about the Apache Arrow, the compute primitives we use in Theseus, the query parser and optimizer and other foundational components.

Diving into the data processing engine architecture, how all the different components interact with each other and how data flows through the compute graph.

Understanding memory management mechanics, including spilling memory from GPU, to Host and Disk.

Learning and embracing the software development culture at Voltron Data.

Within a month:

Profiling single node and distributed queries executions and analyzing the engine telemetry to better understand how the engine works and how to solve distributed engine issues.

Diving deep into the various distributed relational algebra algorithms to understand how they work and how they can be improved.

Working with the team on fixing bugs, implementing simple optimizations or code refactoring projects.

Within 6 months:

Building new relational algebra components to expand SQL coverage or DataFrame functionality coverage.

Making small improvements to more sophisticated engine components such as resource management, task scheduling, and fault tolerance.

Within 12 months:

Proposing and implementing core architecture improvements to the engine.

Working on challenging tasks such as language agnostic user defined functions, multi-query concurrency, and multi-tenancy.

Integrating the engine with other components and features developed by other teams in the company to provide enterprise grade customer experiences.

Previous experience that could be helpful:

Experience with data processing engines or frameworks

Experience in distributed and multi-threaded systems

Experience in HW resource management including memory and thread pools

Working with SQL and non-SQL systems and their computational abstractions

Developing in C++, especially using modern C++

Developing for multiple types of hardware (i.e. CPU, GPU)

US Compensation -  The salary range for this role is between $171,000.00 to $210,000.00. We have a global market-based pay structure which varies by location.
