Granica is redefining how enterprises prepare and optimize data at the most fundamental layer of the AI stack—where raw information becomes usable intelligence. Our technology operates deep in the data infrastructure layer, making data efficient, secure, and ready for scale.We eliminate the hidden inefficiencies in modern data platforms—slashing storage and compute costs, accelerating pipelines, and boosting platform efficiency. The result: 60%+ lower storage costs, up to 60% lower compute spend, 3× faster data processing, and 20% overall efficiency gains.
Why It Matters
Massive data should fuel innovation, not drain budgets. We remove the bottlenecks holding AI and analytics back—making data lighter, faster, and smarter so teams can ship breakthroughs, not babysit storage and compute bills.
Who We Are
- World renowned researchers in compression, information theory, and data systems
- Elite engineers from Google, Pure Storage, Cohesity and top cloud teams

- End-to-End Testing: Contribute to and maintain our E2E testing framework, ensuring quality assurance across the platform.
- Cross-Team Collaboration: Participate in design discussions and code reviews, collaborating across teams to ensure best practices in infrastructure, cloud architecture, and development processes.
- Documentation and Knowledge Sharing: Write technical documentation to share solutions, capture tribal knowledge, and communicate complex issues and novel solutions.
- Project Leadership: Lead and drive projects from conception through to implementation, demonstrating initiative and leadership in an early-stage company environment.
WHY JOIN GRANICA
If you’ve helped build the modern data stack at a large company—Databricks, Snowflake, Confluent, or similar—you already know how critical lakehouse infrastructure is to AI and analytics at scale. At Granica, you’ll take that knowledge and apply it where it matters most…at the most fundamental layer in the data ecosystem.
- Own the product, not just the feature. At Granica, you won’t be optimizing edge cases or maintaining legacy systems. You’ll architect and build foundational components that define how enterprises manage and optimize data for AI.
- Move faster, go deeper. No multi-month review cycles or layers of abstraction—just high-agency engineering work where great ideas ship weekly. You’ll work directly with the founding team, engage closely with design partners, and see your impact hit production fast.
- Work on hard, meaningful problems. From transaction layer design in Delta and Iceberg, to petabyte-scale compaction and schema evolution, to adaptive indexing and cost-aware query planning—this is deep systems engineering at scale.
- Join a team of expert builders. Our engineers have designed the core internals of cloud-scale data systems, and we maintain a culture of peer-driven learning, hands-on prototyping, and technical storytelling.
- Core Differentiation: We’re focused on unlocking a deeper layer of AI infrastructure. By optimizing the way data is stored, processed, and retrieved, we make platforms like Snowflake and Databricks faster, more cost-efficient, and more AI-native. Our work sits at the most fundamental layer of the AI stack: where raw data becomes usable intelligence.
- Be part of something early—without the chaos. Granica has already secured $65M+ from NEA, Bain Capital Ventures, A* Capital, and legendary operators from Okta, Tesla, and Databricks.
- Grow with the company. You’ll have the chance to grow into a technical leadership role, mentor future hires, and shape both the engineering culture and product direction as we scale.
