I work on Espresso AI. We use AI to optimize compute.

Our first two products automatically cut costs on Snowflake and Databricks - if you want to cut your data platform bill in half please reach out.

I'm ben at espresso.ai.

The most counterintuitive thing we found doing this is how often jobs (especially old jobs) are undersized. You can run faster and cheaper if you're running out of resources (especially memory).

Espresso AI | Staff ML, Staff Infra, FDE | Brooklyn or San Francisco | Full time

We're using LLMs to build neural optimizers, neural scheduling systems, and neural workload tuners. (If you're ex-Google, you can think of it like Borg powered by LLMs.)

Today we use ML to make data warehouses and spark jobs more efficient. We're hiring staff ML engineers to train models that can understand how much compute a job needs, how it scales to larger machines, whether a machine can run more jobs, and so on; and staff infra engineers to take those models and deploy them on real-world production systems.

We're also looking for FDEs who can help us talk to users and run pilots. This is a pretty technical role (you need to be able to do data analysis and debug in prod) that's also user-facing - it should be a good fit for a former (or future) technical founder.

If this sounds cool, please email me: ben [at] espresso [dot] ai

Using ML to make SQL queries more efficient.

This is what my company does (https://espresso.ai/), I'm taking advantage of the end of year quiet time to hack on some more R&D-style projects we have.
