About the Role:

At DISQO, we’re redefining how companies turn data into decisions. Our mission is to make advertising and consumer behavior transparent, measurable, and actionable. We’re now building the next evolution of analytics - an agentic, AI-powered system that lets users explore complex data intuitively and instantly.

This is a highly strategic and visible initiative at the heart of DISQO’s future. You’ll work directly with our CTO and a team of talented, driven engineers to architect and build a next-generation AI analytics engine from the ground up - leveraging Agentic AI to shape the foundation for how data intelligence is delivered to customers worldwide.

What you will do:

  • Architect and deliver a high-performance Advanced Analytics Engine – featuring vectorized query processing, columnar storage and OLAP capabilities – that redefines speed, scalability, and analytical depth while crunching marketing datasets with sub-second performance.
  • Design and build an Agentic AI system that leverages this Advanced Analytics Engine to drive autonomous, intelligent decision-making.
  • Partner with product, engineering and data teams to power agentic AI analytics systems that autonomously explore data and surface actionable insights.
  • Profile, benchmark, and optimize Rust components for maximum throughput, low latency, and hardware-aware efficiency.
  • Leverage AWS cloud services to architect scalable, reliable, and cost-efficient analytics infrastructure.
  • Shape the evolution of DISQO’s broader data platform and its integration across our product ecosystem, leading architectural strategy and technical direction in close partnership with data and product engineering teams..
  • Mentor and guide engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence, innovation, and collaboration.
  • Contribute to open-source or internal frameworks that advance analytical systems and distributed computation.

What you bring to the role:

  • 12+ years of professional software engineering experience, including 5+ years architecting or building high-performance data systems or analytics platforms. 3+ years of product Rust experience.
  • Deep expertise in Rust and strong experience in Java. Ideally looking for individuals who have transitioned from Java to Rust.
  • Proven track record building large-scale data analytics or OLAP systems from the ground up.
  • Deep understanding of columnar data engines, vectorized execution, and query/dataframe optimization.
  • Hands-on experience with performance engineering, profiling, and hardware-aware optimization.
  • Strong expertise with AWS -  designing, deploying, and optimizing large-scale data and compute systems in the cloud.
  • A systems-thinking mindset - you see software, data, and infrastructure as one cohesive system to tune and optimize.
  • Thrives in a fast-moving, startup environment - comfortable balancing hands-on execution with big-picture architectural thinking.
  • Strong foundation in statistics and data analysis concepts.
  • Familiarity with AI-driven analytics, or experience with open-source engines such as Apache DataFusion, DuckDB or ClickHouse/chDB are big pluses.
  • Experience evolving / refactoring large brownfield solutions is a plus.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
