Senior / Staff Software Engineer (Database)

Responsibilities Design and deliver improvements to the Database, with an eye on correctness, reliability, and performance. Own projects end-to-end, from early stage design to holding the pager. Debug and resolve complex distributed systems issues, sometimes directly with customers. Continually improve system reliability, observability, and automation. Collaborate across your team, with Product, with Field Eng, and all other stakeholders to align on direction, carefully prioritize, and build the best product for our users. Share your work through mentorship, demos, blog posts, and any other relevant channels. About You You have several years of experience developing software, and are passionate about distributed systems and/or databases. If you don’t use it already, you’re excited to learn Rust. You take pride in owning your work all the way through. Whether it’s early design work, close code review, holding the pager, writing the docs, or teaching the system to your newest team member, you take responsibility for your work at every step. You strive to make your work easy for others to understand. You write clear design docs and write clear, well-documented code. You love to take hard problems and make them simpler. And still simpler—until all of the complexity is boiled away. You love to solve hard problems in service of the customer and you approach those hard problems from all perspectives. Some of your greatest engineering moments come from the times you solved problems by not writing any code. You’re excited about working at the intersection of frontier academic research and the fast-paced realities of a venture-backed startup. You love the multidimensional problem of balancing engineering resilience, delivery speed, and product value. You want to build something great.

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years. Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
