Solace · Remote, United States
Skills: Java, Rust
Enterprise AI is moving from pilots to production, and the constraint is no longer the model — it's the data. Agents are only as good as what they can sense, trust, and act on in the moment, and real-time, event-driven data is becoming the foundation every serious AI system runs on.
Solace is the leading real-time data platform for the enterprise AI era. Established enterprises worldwide — including RBC Capital Markets, Bosch, Heineken, PSA Singapore, United Airlines, Schwarz Group, and hundreds more — have built their business around Solace to enable intelligent, real-time experiences, modernize their application and integration landscape, and create seamless digital journeys for their customers, partners, and employees.
So, the next time you drive a car, order furniture online, fly in a plane, check your bank balance on your phone, your positive experience could be a direct result of our technology—and your hard work!
About the Role
Solace is building Solace Diskless Streaming for Apache Kafka® (SSK), by the creators of Nisshi. SSK builds on Nisshi Diskless Streaming for Apache Kafka®, an open-source project licensed under Apache-2.0. Both implement the Apache Kafka® protocol and separate compute from storage. Stateless Protocol Engines scale out by adding more, and data is stored in object storage rather than on local disks.
Other systems depend on this platform, so writes must remain correct under heavy concurrent load. The work covers wire protocols, storage engines, and the coordination problems that arise in keeping order and consistency across stateless engines. The team focuses on scale, security, latency, and robustness, and tunes for tail latency, throughput, and cost per byte; object storage sets its own floor on latency. You will own pieces of the data path end to end, working in Rust. Part of that work takes place in public, in the Nisshi repository.
What You’ll Do
Design and build core data-path components: request handling and storage, for a system that mus…
