Software Engineer, Intern

Software Engineering Intern - Eventual (San Francisco, CA)

About Eventual

Eventual enables developers to build the AI systems of the future by making multi-modal data and models work together seamlessly. 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) were built for spreadsheet-like analytics, not the petabytes of multimodal data that power AI.

Eventual was founded in 2022 to change that. Our mission is to make working with 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. Backed by Y Combinator, Caffeinated Capital, Array.vc, and top angels from the co-founders of Databricks and Perplexity, we're just getting started-and we'd love for you to be part of it.

Please note : This internship is based in our San Francisco office (Mission District) . We value in-person collaboration and ask interns to be in the office at least 4 days a week.

Your Role

As a Software Engineering Intern, you'll work alongside our engineers to contribute to Eventual's core products and open-source engine. You'll gain hands-on experience building distributed data systems and products, while learning how to design, implement, and test features that support real-world AI and ML workloads.

You'll get mentorship from our team (ex-Databricks, AWS, Nvidia, Tesla, GitHub Copilot, Pinecone) and the opportunity to make meaningful contributions that reach production.

Key Responsibilities

• Contribute to building features in Eventual's distributed query engine.
• Work on developing Eventual's cloud service.
• Write clean, maintainable code with guidance from senior engineers.
• Collaborate with the team to design and implement solutions for real-world data challenges.
• Assist with testing, debugging, and documenting core system components.
