Staff Software Engineer, AI Data Platform

Granica is redefining how enterprises prepare and optimize data at the most fundamental layer of the AI stack—where raw information becomes usable intelligence. Our technology operates deep in the data infrastructure layer, making data efficient, secure, and ready for scale.

We eliminate the hidden inefficiencies in modern data platforms—slashing storage and compute costs, accelerating pipelines, and boosting platform efficiency. The result : 60%+ lower storage costs, up to 60% lower compute spend, 3× faster data processing, and 20% overall efficiency gains.

Why It Matters

Massive data should fuel innovation, not drain budgets. We remove the bottlenecks holding AI and analytics back—making data lighter, faster, and smarter so teams can ship breakthroughs, not babysit storage and compute bills.

Who We Are

• World renowned researchers in compression, information theory, and data systems
• Elite engineers from Google, Pure Storage, Cohesity and top cloud teams
• Enterprise sellers who turn ROI into seven‑figure wins.
