Please state the job location and include the keywords REMOTE, INTERNS and/or VISA when the corresponding sort of candidate is welcome. When remote work is not an option, include ONSITE.

Please only post if you personally are part of the hiring company—no recruiting firms or job boards. Only one post per month, please. If it isn't a household name, explain what your company does.

Commenters: please don't reply to job posts to complain about something. It's off topic here.

Readers: please only email submitters if you personally are interested in the job—no recruiters or sales calls.

M U INC | Senior Data Engineer (aka "Director of I/O Bound Stuff") | Rust / Kafka | Austin, TX | ONSITE | Full Time | 100K-130K w/ EQUITY

We are a small independent startup (fully funded by our MVP's proceeds) focused on managing, enriching and presenting large and complex Energy Data.

Our technical capabilities translate DIRECTLY into commercial success, we are thus obsessed with coupling Engineering Excellence with Pragmatism. We strive to continuously "co-optimize" architecture and technical decisions with the company's long term business strategy.

Our MVP has been extremely successful. We are actively looking for someone ready to develop and take charge of our next generation Data Platform.

We've fallen in love with Martin Kleppmann's "Building Data-Intensive Applications" book and his "Turning the database inside-out..." [0] talk. You will be building a Kappa Architecture from scratch. This platform will become the data backbone of our business, supporting most of what we do.

This is the stack we already have and/or envision:

  - Apache Kafka
  - Rust
  - LMDB/RocksDB
  - Docker/Kubernetes
  - Python
You will report directly to the CEO (aka Chief Nerd Officer) and become a member of our small core team. Our success and your success will be extremely aligned as you will be making substantial contributions to our business (data is critical for us).

This is an ONSITE position only here in Austin, TX. Let's talk! Email us at hello@m-u-inc.com
