About Us
Poly is building a better file storage platform for everyone. We've raised $8M from YC, Bloomberg Beta, Felicis, Figma Ventures, AI Grant, and more, and we're looking to grow our founding team of superstar builders and dreamers.
Poly’s intelligent file system is a desktop and web application that lets you store and browse your files with the help of a powerful multimodal AI.
We are adamant that Poly is the future way to store files for everyone because:
- Our product is intelligent -- all your files are indexed and searchable with a home-grown LLM that can find and even sort and organize your files.
- Our product is lightweight -- we don't install a sync service that's constantly scanning your hard drive and we never need to resolve sync conflicts, ever.
- Completely, 100% cross-platform -- Our product looks identical across web and desktop, with zero compromises in the UI/UX.
- Our product improves every 2 days -- Finder and File Explorer haven't changed in years or decades because they're linked to OS upgrade cycles.
- Many more reasons -- deep folder searching, beautiful view modes, extensible metadata, ergonomics, public sharing, and so much more.
About You
We are looking to grow from two founding teammates to a clan of around eight, so you'll be anywhere from engineer #2 to #7. You'll be tasked with bringing Poly to life as a robust platform, shaping our cloud architecture to store files at breathtaking speed and scale.
Specifically, in a platform engineer (generalist) role, we are looking for the following concrete skills and prior experience:
- Core software design and architectural considerations in developing a globally distributed, highly available file storage service.
- Experience designing database schemas to be fast, efficient, flexible, and ergonomic.
- Interest in data modeling, cache design, and local-first systems that require challenging fault tolerance.
- Experience or significant enthusiasm for the Rust language, which comprises our entire stack.
- Experience with AI modeling or training is not required, though it is still highly desirable.
- An extreme appetite for learning that you've honed through recursive self-improvement.
- You thrive in independent, inter-disciplinary environments, and you are skilled at collaborating across domains.
- You are capable of (and excited to) work in-person 5-days a week in SoMa, San Francisco.
