ParadeDB is a Postgres extension that delivers state-of-the-art search in Postgres. Our customers, including Alibaba Cloud, BILT Rewards, Modern Treasury (YC S18), and many others, rely on us to deliver the performance and feature set of dedicated vector databases/Elasticsearch natively in Postgres, simplifying their stack and day-to-day operations.
If you like systems, this might be for you. We're a team of 10, a Series A company based in SF but distributed across North America. We're hiring for database internals work (e.g., building the database in Rust) and distributed systems work (e.g., building the database-as-a-service platform in Go).
