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. Our technology is elastic and horizontally scalable and supports business critical operations. It runs both on-premises and in the cloud.

We are looking for a motivated software engineer to help develop our data warehouse microservices. You’ll be working on new storage, query execution, code compilation plus optimization, or data movement/access microservices. You’ll have the opportunity to work in all areas of our software stack which includes almost every aspect of computer science and distributed systems programming.

You love computer architecture, data structures, massively parallel algorithms, multicore programming, and performance analysis and optimization. You have a flair for inventing solutions that generate more efficient machine instructions, can debug the hardest issues around concurrency, and relish the exploration and mastery of large complex code. You’ll own your development end-to-end – being responsible for design, development and testing features. You take initiative, and are always on the lookout for new technology that can make a difference – and love to share such things with your team members. Perhaps most importantly, you love to get things done, ship product, and see it solving business problems that benefit thousands of users around the world.
