The opportunity
Benefits include medical, dental, and vision coverage, flexible vacation, a 401(k) plan, meals on in-office days in the US and more.
What you'll do
Engineer performant Rust code for ingestion and query execution
Optimize for cost and speed, heavily utilizing memory and CPU profiling
Integrate tightly with cloud object stores (S3/GCS/Azure Blob)
Deploy our distributed database services on Kubernetes (multi-tenant, high throughput, low latency)
Contribute to observability for the storage engine itself (metrics, tracing, debug tooling)
+ years in systems/database engineering with strong experience in a systems: programming language (Rust, C++). Rust strongly preferred, as it is the language we use.
What they're looking for
- Knowledge of database internals is a plus: query engines, storage systems, indexing, and compaction
- Proficiency in systems performance analysis: memory allocation, CPU hotspots, lock contention, async runtimes.
- Familiarity with similar query execution engines is a plus
- Experience with Kubernetes, distributed systems, and cloud object storage is a plus.
