InterSystems
At
InterSystems , we're redefining the future of analytics and intelligent data platforms. Our high-performance, hyper-capacity engine supports a
multi-model storage layer -blending structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data-to power a new generation of
AI-native and real-time workloads .
We believe in technical
craftsmanship , deep
collaboration , and a culture where ambitious people can build bold systems. The SQL Engine group is the nerve center of our product-where
query processing meets distributed intelligence . We consider engineering a science, an art, and a craft, and we cultivate an environment where the most talented minds can thrive, innovate, and make a lasting impact.
This is your chance to design the core foundations of a data platform trusted by the world's most mission critical systems and AI research teams.
What You'll Do
As a Distinguished Developer in the SQL Engine group, you'll help build the
next-generation query processing stack , optimizing across both traditional analytics and emerging AI-driven workloads. You'll contribute to:
Query parsing, validation, and transformation Logical/physical optimization over multi-model data (row, columnar, stream, document, vector) Plan generation and adaptive execution strategies Code generation and vectorized execution Compiler-accelerated storage access patterns for AI workflows Collaborative integration with our multi-model storage engine You'll design
data processing abstractions and execution engines
that enable
AI-native features
like fast vector search, graph traversal, and probabilistic joins-all within a familiar SQL interface.
Your Impact
Architect and implement
query optimization and execution components
that scale across petabytes Design tooling and frameworks that make
AI and analytics convergence seamless Collaborate with platform and storage teams to leverage
multi-model indexing and caching strategies Contribute to building
programmable, intelligent data pipelines
that drive downstream ML model performance Mentor engineers, guide technical debates, and influence long-term system direction Champion a culture of
quality, rigor, and innovation What We're Looking For
10+ years
of experience in systems-level or database internals engineering Proven expertise in
SQL query engines ,
optimizers ,
execution runtimes , or
data compiler toolchains Experience with
multi-model data systems
(SQL + JSON, vector search, graph traversal) Expert in at least one
systems programming languages, or LLVM-based codegen environments Strong grasp of
relational algebra ,
compiler construction , and
data-intensive workloads Familiarity with
AI infrastructure or ML inference pipelines
is a strong plus Passion for designing software that balances
performance, correctness, and usability PHD degree
or published research experience is highly advantageous. Our Engineering Culture
Innovation is expected : Engineers propose, prototype, and lead from the front Excellence over ego : Code is debated, ideas are tested, and the best ones win Long-term vision : We optimize for architectural clarity and product longevity Cross-domain thinking : We solve storage, processing, and AI problems together Sane pace, deep focus : We value craft, creativity, and time to do both well
Ready to Build What's Next?
If you dream of working on
deep query systems , love
systems-level programming , and want to help create a platform that bridges
SQL, multi-model data, and AI -we'd love to talk.
