About the role

Veeta resolves everything a company runs on into a single live graph, then answers questions against it in milliseconds. The query engine is what makes that feel instant. We are looking for a senior engineer to push its latency, correctness, and freshness further than anyone has.

What you'll do

• Design and optimize the incremental query planner so saved questions only re-evaluate the nodes that actually changed.

• Build streaming evaluation paths that keep answers correct as events arrive out of order.

• Drive down median and tail latency across query shapes, with hard numbers as your scoreboard.

• Implement permission-aware traversal so every result respects the access rules of the person asking.

• Partner closely with the connectors team on the shape of the graph that feeds the engine.

What we're looking for

• 5+ years building backend systems in a language like Go, Rust, or Java.

• Real experience with query engines, databases, or distributed systems.

• A bias toward both correctness and performance, and the discipline to measure both.

• Comfort owning a complex subsystem end to end and explaining the tradeoffs.

Nice to have

• Work with graph databases or graph query languages.

• Experience with change data capture or streaming pipelines.

• A track record of query optimization that moved real numbers.
