Database Engineer • Mid-Level

Who you are

You have deep technical expertise in distributed databases and systems — your experience includes working with database sharding, relational algebra, and Postgres internals. You are familiar with consensus protocols such as Raft, Paxos, or FlexPaxos, and understand distributed transactions thoroughly. Your background includes stream processing, materialization, and change data capture, which are essential for building robust database systems. You are comfortable collaborating with cross-functional teams and the open-source community, contributing to projects that push the boundaries of what's possible with distributed databases.

What you'll do

In this role, you will design and implement query routing logic for sharded databases, ensuring efficient data access and management. You will build consensus and replication systems to support distributed durability, which is critical for maintaining data integrity across multiple nodes. Developing materialization pipelines for migrations and change data capture will be part of your responsibilities, allowing for seamless data transitions and updates. You will also contribute to connection pooling infrastructure and intelligent workload isolation, optimizing performance and resource utilization. Collaboration with the Postgres, networking, and infrastructure teams will be essential as you work on the Multigres project, helping to shape the future of distributed Postgres.
