Come build the data platform of tomorrow!

Company: Galaxy - The Cursor for SQL | NYC (IRL) | Full-time | Roles: Founding AI Engineer, Founding Front-end Engineer | Founding Full-Stack Developer

https://www.getgalaxy.io

We’re building Galaxy, a next-generation SQL workspace that serves as the foundation for the data platform of tomorrow. Today it’s a lightning-fast, elegant query client — soon expanding into orchestration, reporting, and proactive intelligence so every team (not just engineering) can trust and act on data. We’re hiring early engineers in NYC to help shape this future.

Galaxy (getgalaxy.io) - Cursor for Data | NYC, NY | Full time -- Founding Frontend Engineer -- Founding Machine Learning Engineer We are building the unified data platform, starting with a reimagined, modern, AI-enabled SQL editor - and will move into sharing, collaboration, access controls, and more.

We launched the alpha 3 weeks ago to 100 people on our 2K waitlist (and growing) and the feedback was INCREDIBLE. There is massive pull for this product and NOW is the time to build this :)

Mitch Bregman (linkedin.com/in/mitchbregs), me (Garrett Wolfe - linkedin.com/in/garrettawolfe) and one friend (TBA) started Galaxy as a passion project to solve 3 key problems:

1. Queries everywhere – SQL lives in Slack snippets, BI folders, dusty Git repos, and copy-pasted Notion pages.

2. Never-ending data requests – because no one can find (or trust) the right query, engineers and analytics teams still get pinged for “one more pull.”

3. ChatGPT doesn’t have full DB context - non technical users are writing incorrect SQL that lacks context AND technical users are rewriting the same queries over and over again

LOOKING FOR: We're looking for high agency, high velocity individuals and someone who wants to be part of a family. We are building ~the unified data platform~ and want someone who is excited to be part of the story.

Ask HN: Where do you store SQL and does it cut down "can you pull this?" pings?

We keep seeing the same two problems:1. *Saving & sharing* – queries end up everywhere (Slack, Git repos, BI folders, Notion pages…).2. *Endless requests* – because nobody knows what exists, engineers and data folks still get hammered with “please run this query / build this dashboard” tickets.How is your team handling both sides?- Do you have a single, searchable library? - Can non-devs...

We are building the unified data platform, starting with a reimagined SQL editor from the ground up - and moving into sharing, collaboration, access controls, and more.

We just launched the alpha product TODAY to a list of over ~2,000 people on our waitlist

Myself and a handful of super deep data / SW engineers started Galaxy as a passion project to solve 3 key problems:

1. *Queries everywhere* – SQL lives in Slack snippets, BI folders, dusty Git repos, and copy-pasted Notion pages.

2. *Never-ending data requests* – because no one can find (or trust) the right query, engineers and analytics teams still get pinged for “one more pull.”

Galaxy | x.com/getgalaxy_ | Founding ML Engineer, Founding FE Visualization Engineer, Founding Product Engineer | On-site NYC or Remote

Galaxy is the Cursor for DB Querying, purpose-built for devs to make your querying faster (with a context-aware AI-copilot) and more collaborative, so you 10x your querying output and never have to share queries in slack again. We have collected some of the most deeply skilled data engineers there are to build this platform from some of the greatest startups of 2020 and beyond.

Together, we're making data sexy.
