About the job

At Timescale, we empower businesses with real-time insights from their data, allowing them to make faster decisions and optimize operations. We are creating a movement to unblock developers who are building the future. Timescale is a product-led growth organization driven by transparent leaders and a globally diverse, remote-first team that is proudly building a modern PostgreSQL cloud platform.

We need extraordinary database engineers to join our team. You will design, code, and test the core of our PostgreSQL-based time-series database. We focus on building a scalable, reliable, robust, usable, secure, and performant database. You should have strong systems-building experience and expertise in C, understand query optimization and database systems, and ideally already be a PostgreSQL expert (or show an interest and quick aptitude to become a PostgreSQL expert).

This is a remote and full-time position.

What you will be responsible for:

  • 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.

You’d be a great fit if you have:

  • 5+ years of engineering experience.
  • Expertise in building industrial-strength software in C/C++ for large code bases.
  • 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.
  • Passion for building highly reliable system software.
  • Experience with industry-standard software validation tools helpful, e.g., Jepsen, Valgrind, Coverity, pprof, etc.

Our Commitment:

  • We will respond to all applicants
  • We strive to review all applications fairly, without bias, and shortlist based on relevant skills and experience.
  • All active candidates will be informed of what is happening next in the process.
