*Company* - PipelineDB <http://www.pipelinedb.com>

*San Francisco, CA - Full Time*

Hello PostgreSQL Experts!

We are a new, well funded Y-Combinator <http://www.ycombinator.com/> startup
building a realtime analytics database (fork of PostgreSQL) that runs SQL
queries continuously on streaming data. You can think of what we're
building as extremely high throughput materialized views with a fully ACID
database, enabling a wide range of engineers to develop realtime
applications with a query language only (SQL) versus chaining together
multiple application development frameworks such as Kafka, Storm,
Cassandra, etc.

We've just closed our seed round from prominent investors including
Y-Combinator, SV Angel, Data Collective, Susa Ventures, Paul Buchheit
(creator of Gmail), Kevin Scott (SVP Engineering at LinkedIn), and several
others. We also have top advisors from the PostgreSQL community and UC
Berkeley computer science department.

We're looking for 3-4 backend engineers (job description below) for our
core team to help build out the v1 of PipelineDB and are offering generous
equity and salary packages. If you think a high probability San Francisco
tech startup in the streaming data space might be for you we'd love to have
a brief introductory conversation with you. Please email
jobs(at)pipelinedb(dot)com with your resume and a short blurb about your
background and we'll personally follow up quickly.

Thanks in advance! We look forward to hearing from you soon!

Best Regards,
Jeff
