Databento is a startup that builds modern APIs to get financial data. As a Series A startup, we've raised $37.8M to date, and grown our revenues by over 958% Y/Y in the past year—all with a team of fewer than 30 employees.
We’re looking for a junior systems engineer (on parity with L3 to L4 at a large tech firm) to join our systems team. Our team manages the backbone of Databento’s platform — from Ceph storage and high-throughput networking to bare metal and containerized deployments across multiple data centers. You’ll work hands-on with a 25 GbE network stack, distributed storage exceeding 4 PB, and a modern hybrid environment spanning self-hosted and cloud systems.
We offer health, dental, disability, and life insurance benefits, as well as 401(k) matching for full-time employees. We accommodate 100% remote work, with teammates living around the globe and paid in their local currency.
Our recruiting data suggests that underrepresented applicants often downplay their skills. Even if your experience doesn’t exactly match the qualifications listed, we still want to hear from you. Please apply!
