About Eventual Every breakthrough AI application, from foundation models to autonomous vehicles, relies on processing massive volumes of images, video, and complex data. But today’s data platforms (like Databricks and Snowflake) are built on top of tools made for spreadsheet-like analytics, not the petabytes of multimodal data that power AI. As a result, teams waste months on brittle infrastructure instead of conducting research and building their core product.

Eventual was founded in 2022 to solve this. Our mission is to make querying any kind of data, images, video, audio, text, as intuitive as working with tables, and powerful enough to scale to production workloads. Our open-source engine, Daft, is purpose-built for real-world AI systems: coordinating with external APIs, managing GPU clusters, and handling failures that traditional engines can’t. Daft already powers critical workloads at companies like Amazon, Mobileye, Together AI, and CloudKitchens.

We’ve assembled a world-class team from Databricks, AWS, Nvidia, Pinecone, GitHub Copilot, Tesla, and more, quadrupling our size within a year. With backing from Y Combinator, Caffeinated Capital, Array .vc, and top angels from the co-founders of Databricks and Perplexity, we’re looking to double the team now. Join us—Eventual is just getting started.

Please note we are looking for someone who is willing and able to come into our San Francisco office in the Mission district 4 days / week.

If that sounds like you, please reach out even if you don't see a specific role listed that matches your skillsets - we'd love to chat!

Your Role

As our AI Developer Advocate, you will champion AI workload use-cases and drive adoption of Daft, our distributed query engine for multimodal data. You'll work directly with users to build compelling end-to-end demonstrations that showcases Daft as the definitive engine for any modality of data at any scale, turning complex multimodal scenarios into accessible, reproducible examples. When you're not producing amazing developer facing content, your work will also directly influence Daft's roadmap as you learn from our users.

Key Responsibilities

• User Engagement : Work closely with users to understand multimodal data challenges and translate them into compelling use-cases

• Technical Content Creation : Develop tutorials, videos, and technical demos showcasing things like:

• Community Building : Present at conferences, meetups, and technical events to grow our developer community

• Product Development : Drive feature requirements and improvements for our open-source project based on user feedback and real-world applications

What We Look For

• Strong background in AI/ML and multimodal data processing

• Experience with distributed systems and data engineering

• Proven track record creating technical content and speaking at events

• Ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear, actionable guidance

• Open-source contribution experience preferred

Perks & Benefits

• In-person tight knit team with 4x a week in office

• Competitive comp and startup equity

• Catered lunches and dinners for SF employees

• Commuter benefit

• Team building events & poker nights

• Health, vision, and dental coverage

• Flexible PTO

• Latest Apple equipment

• 401k plan with match!

Our stack is a mix of Python and Rust. We integrate closely with distributed systems such as Ray and storage engines such as Apache Iceberg and AWS S3.

Examples of domains that we work in include:

• Databases: Daft employs modern query planning and optimizations for efficient execution of distributed workloads
• Enterprise Big Data: Daft integrates with data lake technologies such as Apache Iceberg and Hive, with record-setting I/O throughputs to these storage formats
• Low-Level System Programming: The execution core of Daft is written in Rust for memory-efficient data processing
