We are seeking extraordinary software engineers to work on Apache DataFusion Comet, the open-source accelerator for Apache Spark that Apple created and donated to the Apache Software Foundation. You are passionate about pushing distributed query engines to their limits and getting every ounce of performance out of them, while matching Spark's results exactly. We are looking for engineers with in-depth knowledge of Spark internals and of related technologies such as Apache Iceberg, Parquet, Arrow, and DataFusion. You are also excited about working in the open, collaborating with teams across Apple that run Spark at scale and contributing upstream to these open-source communities.

You'll collaborate closely with a dedicated team of open-source data experts, including committers to Apache Spark, DataFusion, and Iceberg, among others, and contribute that work upstream. You will also profile and benchmark real workloads and tune memory, shuffle, and I/O to roll Comet out reliably across both data centers and cloud services. Your work will directly contribute to the resilience, scalability, and performance of systems that support millions of users worldwide.
