About Chalk

Chalk is revolutionizing the data platform landscape that drives the future of machine learning applications. We are dismantling the complexity, latency, and scalability challenges that have historically limited ML capabilities. Our cutting-edge platform integrates Rust-speed performance with user-friendly tools that developers cherish. Prestigious organizations rely on Chalk to address critical needs such as preventing fraudulent credit card transactions, identity verification, and optimizing clean energy utilization. Recently, we secured a $50 million Series A funding round, spearheaded by Felicis.

About the Role

We are seeking dynamic Software Engineers to become part of our innovative team. This is a unique opportunity to contribute in-person as an early employee at a rapidly growing start-up. You will engage in solving complex engineering challenges with significant autonomy and responsibility.

The ideal candidate will possess a robust background in systems engineering. At Chalk, we tackle challenges that originate from the realms of DBMS query planning & optimization, compilers, and distributed analytical data processing systems.

Our team employs both dynamic and static analysis of Python programs to enhance arbitrary user Python code, to infer and orchestrate the infrastructure dictated by the structure of that code, and to meticulously track metadata regarding data flow within these systems.

We operate from the office five days a week, though we offer flexibility for unavoidable conflicts. Please note that this is not a hybrid role.
