Senior Data and Analytics Engineer

About Poolside

In this decade, the world will create Artificial General Intelligence. There will only be a small number of companies who will achieve this. Their ability to stack advantages and pull ahead will define the winners. These companies will move faster than anyone else. They will attract the world's most capable talent. They will be on the forefront of applied research, engineering, infrastructure and deployment at scale. They will continue to scale their training to larger & more capable models. They will be given the right to raise large amounts of capital along their journey to enable this. They will create powerful economic engines. They will obsess over the success of their users and customers.

Poolside exists to be this company: to build a world where AI will be the engine behind economically valuable work and scientific progress. We believe the fastest way to reach AGI lies in accelerating software development itself, by reshaping the developer experience with agentic systems, coding assistants, and the frontier models that power them.

About Our Team

We were founded in the US and have our home there, but our team is distributed across Europe and North America. We get our fix of in-person collaboration (and croissants) in Paris each month for 3 days, always Monday-Wednesday, with an open invitation to stay the whole week. We also do longer off-sites once a year.

Our team is a multidisciplinary blend of research, engineering, and business experts. What unites us is our deep care for what we build together. We’re in a race that requires hard work, intellectual curiosity, and obsession; to balance this intensity, we’ve assembled a team of low ego and kind-hearted individuals who have built the special culture Poolside has. By building collaboratively and with intention, we create a compounding effect that moves the entire company forward towards our mission: reaching AGI through intelligence systems built for software development.

About The Role

You will work on the Model Factory, building the data and analytics systems underneath it such as our agent trajectory store, experiment configuration registry, experiment metrics, and others.

In this role, you will engage directly with researchers to understand their experiments and workflows so you can improve our data and analytics. Since training efficiency is a function of how quickly we learn and draw insights from each run, your work will directly accelerate Poolside's ability to develop models. The work on this team will be a mix of greenfield projects as well as extending existing systems to support larger scale, higher reliability, and more demanding performance requirements.

If you are excited to own foundational systems, build at scale, and work alongside researchers to push the frontier of model capabilities, this is the role for you.

YOUR MISSION

To deliver reliable, performant, and intuitive data and analytics tools and platforms to accelerate model research.
