Deeptech start-up, founded in March 2020.
- Our primary developer offering is an ultra-performant Data Processing Framework (unified streaming + batch) with a Python API, distributed Rust engine, and capabilities for data source integration & transformation at scale (Kafka, S3, databases/CDC,...).
- The single-machine version is provided on a free-to-use license (`pip install pathway`).
- Major data use cases are around event-stream data (including real-world data such as IoT), and graph data that changes over time.
- Our enterprise offering is currently used by leaders of the logistics industry, such as DB Schenker or La Poste, and tested across multiple industries. Pathway has been featured in Gartner's market guide for Event Stream Processing.

Pathway is VC-funded, with amazing BAs from the AI space and industry. We have operations across Europe and in the US. We are headquartered in Paris, with significant support from the French ecosystem (BPI, Agoranov, WILCO,...).
Pathway is built by and for overachievers. Its co-founders and employees have worked in the best AI labs in the world (Microsoft Research, Google Brain, ETH Zurich), worked at Google, and graduated from top universities (Polytechnique, ENSAE, Sciences Po, HEC Paris, PhD obtained at the age of 20, etc…). Pathway’s CTO is a co-author with Goeff Hinton and Yoshua Bengio. The management team also includes the co-founder of Spoj.com (1M+ developer users) and NK.pl (13.5M+ users) and experienced growth leader who has scaled companies with multiple exits.
We are currently searching for 1 or 2 R&D Engineers with a strong track record in designing efficient data storage systems and/or algorithms, to help develop and improve the core data processing components of our solution.
TL;DR: If you like Rust and hearing “distributed Van Emde Boas tree” would put a smile on your face, this is the job for you.
- create code to optimize index-like data structures used in our core data processing and data storage components.
- help to design algorithms and data structures which work in a dynamic distributed manner.
- contribute to other aspects of the system, for example related to persistency.
The results of your work will play a crucial role in building and optimizing both the foundations of our data processing product, and its core algorithms library.
