Nice to Have

• Experience building stateful distributed systems (such as databases, message brokers or stream processing systems)

What You'll Be Doing

• The day-to-day work spans a wide range of the database stack, from low-level systems programming (concurrency, networking and storage) to higher-level development of distributed control planes where predictability and stability are vital
• We have a development culture focused on good system design. The systems we build have to handle failing servers, unstable networks, and query overloads. As such, we take the time to architect for quality and correctness
• Apart from coding features, you’ll also work with support engineers to track down tough bugs, with SREs to support our database as a service offering, and with product managers to design new features
• You’ll also spend time learning and experimenting, specializing in topics that help grow yourself and the team. Some examples of our current specializations include cloud-native architectures, networking, and distributed consensus algorithms
