Join Timescale as a Senior Software Engineer - Database Internals
Timescale is building the world’s next great database company on top of industry-standard PostgreSQL, and we need your help! We are looking for extraordinary database engineers to join our team.
About the Role
As a Senior Software Engineer focusing on Database Internals, you will design, code, and test the core of our PostgreSQL-based time-series database. Our focus is on building a scalable, reliable, robust, usable, secure, and performant database. You should have strong systems-building experience and expertise in C, understand both query optimization and database systems, and ideally already be a PostgreSQL expert (or show an interest and quick aptitude to become one).
Responsibilities
- Play a core role in helping to design and develop new database capabilities, including analytics, clustering and distributed operations, query and storage optimizations, and more.
- Develop, test, and release new features and functionality from our database technical roadmap.
- Continually improve, optimize, and test the existing functionality of TimescaleDB.
- Improve infrastructure to evaluate and test database correctness and performance.
- Work closely with our Cloud Engineering team to build a world-class experience for our Timescale customers.
- Provide elevated technical assistance to high-value customers, gaining insight into the needs and experiences of our users.
- Be an enthusiastic and personable teammate, receiving and providing code reviews and partnering and helping other engineers.
Requirements
- Expertise in building industrial-strength software in C/C++ for large code bases.
- 5+ years of engineering experience.
- Experience in PostgreSQL internal development is highly desirable (but not required).
- Solid knowledge of SQL, query processing and database engines, concurrency control, data replication, and/or distributed systems.
- Passionate about building highly reliable system software.
- Experience with industry-standard software validation tools helpful, e.g., Jepsen, Valgrind, Coverity, pprof, etc.
