About the Role Sigma Computing is redefining business intelligence by making complex data analysis accessible through a high-performance platform built for the modern data stack. The Compiler Team plays a foundational role in this mission by transforming user-driven spreadsheet interactions into highly optimized SQL queries, enabling seamless exploratory analytics on cloud data warehouses. As a member of the Compiler Team, you will join a group of engineers dedicated to building the core systems and abstractions that power Sigma’s intuitive spreadsheet interface, ensuring speed, reliability, and scalability for all users. What You Will Be Doing Tackle core challenges at the intersection of data modeling, query compilation, and large-scale interactive analytics—making it possible for end-users to query data warehouses efficiently without deep technical knowledge Design, build, and maintain sophisticated compiler infrastructure and intermediate representations that translate spreadsheet operations into optimized query plans Apply advanced optimization strategies to improve performance and accuracy across a wide range of query workloads and data architectures Contribute to both backend (Rust) and key frontend foundations (TypeScript), evolving critical abstractions that enable end-to-end workflow optimizations and new features Debug, analyze, and resolve complex issues, ensuring robustness and maintainability in a rapidly evolving product Collaborate with engineers and product stakeholders to review designs and code, driving technical best practices and architectural decisions throughout the team and company
