ParadeDB | https://paradedb.com | SF Onsite + Remote | Full-Time | Rust Database Engineers

ParadeDB is an alternative to Elasticsearch built on Postgres. We're building a Postgres extension in Rust that offers a new index type optimized for full-text search and aggregate/analytics workloads. We solve three problems with Elasticsearch today:

- Lack of read-after-writes guarantees

- Lack of JOINs

- Infrastructure complexity & cost due to syncing Postgres and Elastic.

We're open-source, and our repository is available at https://github.com/paradedb/paradedb. We're a Series A team of 8 distributed across the US and Canada. Most folks on our team have 10+ years of experience in database internals at companies like Twitter, MongoDB, Oracle, Instacart, etc.

You can find our roles and the profiles of our team members here: https://paradedb.notion.site

If you know Rust and/or have experience working on DB internals and want to work on cool systems problems, shoot us a note. We hire with conviction, have lots of room to grow, and exciting technical problems to solve. My email is phil@paradedb.com.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The solution has been mentioned in the threads you linked, and I haven't seen any argument against it - let users share their experiences and/or question job postings in the replies. Heck, the author responded to my comment and had mine not been detached, people could have read the exchange and come to their own conclusions. You're simply protecting the companies with this type of one sided moderation. The way to com…

> makes you think you can do the same for the replies We can't, and that's the issue. There's no fair way of adjudicating which such complaints are true and valid, vs. which are partly true but distorted, vs. which are outright false. It seems to me that the status quo is the least-bad feasible option, which is why we stick with it, even though of course it has downsides. I still think the Who Is Hiring threads are v…

I don't know if it's about trying to do significantly better, but rather who these threads are for. If they're for the seekers, you would let them speak freely about their experiences. If it's for the companies, it makes sense to censor replies. Unfortunately you're put in a position to make this choice no matter if you want to or not.

Thanks for listening to feedback :)

For example, our engineering team in India works primarily from our Gurugram office.

We’re a small, high-impact team solving one of the most interesting and adversarial problems in fintech: how do you build systems that reliably determine whether a real human is on the other side of a financial transaction?

We are backed by top tier investors and already have one of the largest RCM operators in the country as our development partner. Founded by a healthcare tech veteran with two prior exits. This is a chance to be a true founding team member with meaningful equity and direct impact on product and company direction.

Think of it like playing a complex game: interpret intricate payer rules, combine them into working logic, and validate at scale. Design data pipelines for PDFs/CSVs/APIs, create business logic combining rules based systems with ML validation, and build explainable systems where every decision is traceable. Thanks to our partnership, you'll work with massive real world datasets from day one. Stack: Python, SQL, FastAPI, LLMs and Agentic frameworks.

Role 2: Founding Data Engineer Architect our data platform from scratch. Build fault tolerant pipelines using Databricks that handle diverse sources, design normalization layers for healthcare data, and implement observability for production reliability. First data hire, you'll shape our entire data strategy. Stack: Python, SQL, Databricks, Azure/AWS, Airflow/Prefect.

Rapport is a remote only company with quarterly in person sessions. Significant equity + competitive compensation.

[dead]

Please don't break the rules at the top of the thread. We detached this comment from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46110465 .

But this company's permanent post is breaking the rules at the top of the thread. Specifically:

"Please only post if you are actively filling a position and are committed to responding to applicants."

Clearly they are not actively filling positions. Please see every other post from this company and you will see that it never changes.
