What you’ll do
Chroma is about data. Chroma’s retrieval system is built on top of a distributed storage engine that is designed to be scalable, reliable, and serverless.
The storage problems we face are unique and challenging, due to the scale and type of data Chroma processes and stores. We must invent many of the necessary components from scratch ourselves.
As a member of the storage team you will research, design, implement and verify elements of our storage engine. You will work closely with the Distributed Systems and Cloud Infrastructure teams to deliver.
Who you are
You have experience with building, running, and optimizing high performance systems-level programs.
You have experience in building storage systems for databases, or other high performance storage applications.
You have substantial production experience in Rust, C++, Zig or other system programming languages.
Bonus
You have experience with vector search indexes, document storage, or similar storage technologies.
You are passionate about testing through formal (e.g. TLA+), lightweight formal and probabilistic methods.
