What Terark does

Terark built a new storage engine for Database and Data Systems. Our technology enables direct search on highly compressed data, with 200X faster read performance and more than 10X storage savings (better than Google's LevelDB, Facebook's RocksDB), getting larger scalability with lower cost for big data applications. Alibaba is our paying customer, and we are a YCombinator company.

No open roles recorded right now.

That does not mean they are not hiring — plenty of roles never reach a job board. The careers page below is the earliest place a new opening appears.

Check the company’s own careers page — linked at the top — before a job board. A role appears there first, sometimes weeks before it is syndicated anywhere else.
