About Revel
Revel is the software platform for hardware test and control. Aerospace, defense, robotics, and energy teams use Revel to build control diagrams, stream telemetry, and operate the hardware they develop.
Location
Los Angeles or San Francisco, CA
The Role
We’re building a new data platform to add to Revel's current products. The data platform receives, stores, and serves telemetry from our customers' hardware. It helps customers develop and operate their hardware faster and more effectively.
You’ll join the founding team, which has fewer than six engineers. You will be responsible for core parts of the data platform: ingestion, processing, indexing, encoding, compression, storage, and querying multimodal telemetry. You will work on problems at all levels of the system. You design, build, and release your work, and you help operate it.
Problems you will work on
One system in many environments. You will design and implement a system with low operational burden and deploy it to commercial cloud, government cloud, and on-prem at customer sites.
Interactive queries at scale. You will design and implement for petabyte scale with millions of unique series. Users need to move from months long trend analyses to test-wide overviews to individual samples while keeping analysis interactive.
Reliability despite failure. Disks fail, nodes stop, and networks partition. The system must preserve data and recover predictably, with no or minimal disruption to users.
Many customers. Each customer's data must stay isolated from other customers. The data platform must use each machine efficiently, on our hardware and on customer hardware.
What you will do:
Learn how hardware engineers explore and analyze telemetry.
Build and operate services for ingest, storage, and query.
Design APIs that support customers’ programmatic and interactive analysis workflows.
Design how the data platform divides work, scales horizontally, and continues to work during failures.
Release your work to customers in all environments, and iterate on it based on customer feedback and operational experience.
Use the data platform to monitor itself.
Who we are looking for
We hire at all experience levels and match the scope of your work to your experience. We care more about what you have built and learned than how many years you have worked. That experience can come from a job, research, coursework, open source, or personal projects.
Why Revel
Work on hardware that matters—your customers build aerospace systems, advanced manufacturing lines, and critical infrastructure
Real ownership—your field work shapes the product roadmap
Competitive salary, substantial equity, and fast personal growth in a deeply technical career
Small, ambitious team where your impact is immediate and visible
Join us to redefine what’s possible in software for hardware.
