Job Description

We are looking for a Database Engineer to help out in the Postgres/Yugabyte space. The ideal candidate will have experience with enterprise-scale Yugabyte deployments, including intra- and inter-data-center high availability configurations, fault tolerance and failover, replication, cluster management, automated cluster provisioning, rolling upgrade techniques, backup & restoration techniques, security mechanisms, health monitoring and alerting techniques, and troubleshooting. The candidate will also bring knowledge of Yugabyte internals such as sharding and replication settings, and performance tuning.

We recognize that Yugabyte is a relatively new database technology, so the team is happy to train on the job, presuming similar knowledge of other databases such as Google Spanner, Cassandra, Postgres and/or Oracle. This team is responsible for evaluating the databases the enterprise as a whole works on and partners with, which includes partnering with database vendors, making recommendations for improvements and training other verticals within the enterprise to get them up and running on these database platforms.

We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances.
