We're a global team of over 400 people, working together to push the boundaries of open-source technology and multi-cloud solutions. Our vision is to help developers, builders, and creators bring their ideas to life with speed and simplicity, by providing a cloud data platform that makes open-source databases, search, streaming, and application infrastructure easily accessible to everyone.

  • Facilitate API design improvements and refactoring efforts to enhance platform functionality and performance.
  • Write high-quality, maintainable code in Python, releasing, and monitoring quality features in production.

  • Contribute to technical planning, system architecture, feature design, product roadmaps, and backlog management.
  • Ensure the backend ecosystem maintains strong unit and functional testing coverage.
  • Advocate for continuous improvements to software quality, platform security, and system performance.
  • Mentor junior team members to foster technical growth and engineering best practices.

What We're Looking For:

  • Development Skills: Excellent software development skills in Python.
  • Cloud Platforms: Experience interacting directly with one or more cloud provider APIs (AWS, GCP, Azure).
  • Infrastructure & Orchestration: Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) solutions and container orchestration tools.
  • Networking: Familiarity with the Linux networking stack.
  • Open-Source Data Services: Hands-on experience with managed open-source technologies, such as Apache Kafka, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, OpenSearch, or ClickHouse.
  • Operating Systems: Deep hands-on experience using Linux in both development and production environments.
  • Architecture: Strong foundational knowledge of distributed systems and microservices patterns.
  • Production Operations: Extensive experience managing, scaling, and operating software in production environments.
  • Security: Solid understanding of backend software security principles and practices.
  • Testing: A strong drive and standard for writing robust automated unit and integration tests.
  • Communication: Fluency in English (written and verbal).

Nice to Have:

  • Secrets & Key Management: Hands-on experience managing secrets and encryption keys.
  • CI/CD: Experience building or configuring automated CI/CD pipelines.
  • Observability Frameworks: Experience with monitoring, logging, and tracing tooling.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
