Researchers spend 80% of their time writing boilerplate code: we want to change that.

Quadrillion builds research agents for ML and data science workflows. Unlike existing coding tools that primarily solve SWE problems, our agents do practical research—looking at plots, coordinating many other research agents, and drawing open-ended conclusions. We sell to MLEs, quants, biotech researchers, data scientists, and anyone who spends time thinking about how to analyze data.

We 3x’ed in three months and are currently starting trials. Watch a demo video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCJSzOXyksE and download today at http://quadrillion.io .

Who We’re Looking For

We’re looking for p99 infra engineers. This means people who are “spiky,” with a deep well of technical knowledge and unusually strong technical opinions.

In particular, we want someone who has experience building the cloud side of a startup: not just someone who can deploy things, but someone who understands infrastructure tradeoffs, reliability, and scaling better than the rest of us combined. If you enjoy debugging weird production issues, we most likely want to hire you.

You Should Care Deeply About

Building clean, reliable, maintainable infrastructure
Shipping quickly while keeping high operational quality (even with AI-assisted coding)
Consistent style and organization (you have taste in systems, not just code)

Nice to have: experience with Kubernetes/Terraform, GCP/AWS/Azure, and/or designing deployment + observability for startup teams; having started your own company or built something interesting that was deployed to 10K-1M+ users; having all of the relevant CLI commands memorized; using Linux as your personal OS.

We’re full-time, in-person in NYC. We pay well (cash and equity) and cover lunch/dinner, health insurance, and generous PTO for full-time employees.

Why we want you to join us

We’ve moved incredibly fast with a tight, hardworking team. In just a couple weeks, we built a functioning Jupyter replacement that we use every day.

But we need more people — building a product that can replace the default research workflow is extremely hard. In order to make it stable and work at 99.9% reliability across the high stakes applications that we're selling to, we need someone with strong experience in building and maintaining infrastructure. This applies to both our existing local/cluster offering and deploying it to the cloud (something that will help us serve individual users at scale).

This is a high-autonomy company. We want people who have strong opinions and execute on them, and we trust the people we're working with to know more about the things that they're building than we do. If that sounds exciting to you, you might enjoy working with us.

About Us

We’re a team of ex-quants, founding engineers, and cracked PhD students. Everyone on the team is our own customer: most of us are researchers (2k+ collective cites) and we’ve all spent many late nights writing horrible boilerplate code and cursing out Jupyter notebooks. We’re incredibly determined and relentless, and we expect to take over the market at short notice.

We have an amazing team of advisors and investors. Our investors include Audacious (lead), Conviction (lead), Bloomberg Beta, and ex/ante. We’re backed by https://www.linkedin.com/in/adrien-treuille-52215718 , https://www.linkedin.com/in/barrymccardel , https://www.linkedin.com/in/marshcharles , and https://www.linkedin.com/in/tristanhandy , as well as leaders like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wes_McKinney (creator of Pandas), https://www.linkedin.com/in/aparnacd (creator of Google Lens) and https://www.linkedin.com/in/charlessonghurst , among many other folks we greatly respect.
