Software Engineer, Distributed Data Systems
Exa is an applied AI lab building a search engine unlike the world has ever seen. We build massive-scale infra to crawl the entire web, train state-of-the-art embedding models to process it, and design super high performant vector databases to retrieve over it. We now power search for Cursor, Cognition, HubSpot, and over 400,000 developers and have raised $350m from Lightspeed, Benchmark, and a16z.
Our ultimate goal is to build perfect search over all the world's information, far beyond Google. If you want to build massive-scale ML systems that will define the way the new AI world consumes information, this is the place for you.
As a Data Engineer, you'll architect and build the data infrastructure that powers everything we do—from crawling billions of pages to training our embedding models to serving real-time search. You'll have enormous autonomy in designing systems that scale to hundreds of petabytes. If you've ever wanted to build data pipelines at a scale that most companies only dream about, this is your chance.
