Company Summary 60% Lower TCO and 5-10x Superior Performance for the most demanding analytics workloads on data lake and Lakehouse. Existing Data Warehouse and Data Lakehouse Engines fall short when it comes to the most demanding enterprise analytics workloads. Data engineering and Platform teams find it impossible to simultaneously achieve lower TCOs, ever-increasing usage, and query latency/throughput SLAs. e6data's answer is to drive breakthroughs on the processing efficiency frontier. This pursuit drove us to a clean-slate, bold new approach to building MPP-style columnar processing and vectorized execution engines. Why Join Us We believe in hiring smart people, giving them the right platform and direction, and getting out of their way. A selected employee's growth will be limited only by his abilities. If he is on the right track, he should be leading a function within e6data in 6-12 months!
