Software Engineering - Clustering & Distributed Systems

Requirements:

• Ability to work independently within a flexible software development organization
• Ability to communicate about, and collaborate on, complex topics
• Experience of distributed systems through usage, administration or development
• Desire to learn modern and high performance Java programming (or prior knowledge)
• Desire to learn Kubernetes and building operators
• Desire to work as part of a geographically distributed team

Nice to have:

• Experience building stateful distributed systems (such as databases, message brokers or stream processing systems)
• Experience working with distributed orchestration systems, such as Kubernetes
• Existing knowledge of Java programming, the Java ecosystem or JVM internals
• Experience with working on large code bases

What you'll be doing:

• The day-to-day work is quite wide-reaching in the database stack, from low-level (efficient IO systems where every flush and allocation counts) to high (distributed control planes where predictability and stability are vital)
• The work involves building features end to end - from the core database itself to running and maintaining them in our live managed service Aura
• Apart from features, you’ll also work with support engineers to track down tough bugs, SREs to support our database as a service offering, and with product managers and other teams to design new features
• You’ll also spend time learning, thinking and experimenting. Specializing in topics that interest you and helping to grow yourself, the team and the product
