Materialize is a streaming database company that provides millisecond-level answers to complex SQL queries over streaming data. Its customers include companies in financial services, IoT, and SaaS who use Materialize for real-time analytics, data services, and streaming pipelines. Founded in 2019, Materialize has raised $100M in funding from investors including Redpoint, Kleiner Perkins, and Lightspeed.

CEO Arjun Narayan previously worked at Cockroach Labs, while Chief Scientist Frank McSherry created the Timely Dataflow project that Materialize is based on. The 40-person company is headquartered in NYC with a hybrid remote structure. Materialize aims to expand its streaming database with features like more data sources, advanced query optimization, and enterprise-grade security and reliability.

Joining Materialize means working on groundbreaking streaming data infrastructure with a talented engineering team. However, building a new category of database to compete with batch-based solutions is an ambitious undertaking that will require overcoming significant technical and adoption challenges.
