Job Overview

We’re a driven R&D team building the best database in the world for data warehousing: We innovate in all areas of the software stack, from operating systems through to user interface and everything in between.

Perhaps most importantly, you love to get things done, ship products and see it solving business problems that benefit thousands of users around the world.
