You will work on complex distributed systems challenges, contributing directly to database performance, scalability, and reliability at scale.
The environment is highly technical, collaborative, and autonomy-driven, where engineers are trusted to take ownership of large parts of the platform.
You will also engage with users and customers to translate real-world needs into robust, production-grade engineering solutions.
This is a role for engineers who thrive in deep system work, enjoy debugging complex problems, and care about building high-quality infrastructure.
You will have direct impact on a platform serving extremely high-throughput workloads across global cloud environments.

Accountabilities:

• Design, build, and maintain core backend systems powering a distributed database platform at large scale.


• Develop highly reliable and performant services handling millions of queries per second in production environments.


• Contribute to the architecture and evolution of distributed systems supporting database clustering and scaling.


• Debug complex system-level issues across infrastructure, databases, and application layers.


• Collaborate with engineering peers to solve challenging problems in distributed systems and performance optimization.


• Engage with customers to understand requirements and translate them into scalable technical solutions.


• Improve system reliability, observability, and operational excellence across the platform.


• Contribute to codebase quality through clean, maintainable, and well-tested engineering practices.

Requirements

• 5+ years of software engineering experience with a strong focus on backend or infrastructure systems.


• Strong proficiency in Go, with additional experience in languages such as Python, Java, or C++.


• Solid understanding of relational databases such as MySQL and related data modeling concepts.


• Experience building or operating distributed systems at scale in production environments.


• Working knowledge of Kubernetes and containerized application deployments.


• Strong debugging skills with the ability to diagnose complex issues across multiple system layers.


• Understanding of system performance, scalability, and reliability engineering principles.


• Ability to work independently with high autonomy and make sound technical decisions.


• Bonus: experience with database internals, query optimization, or consensus algorithms.


• Bonus: contributions to open-source infrastructure or database-related projects.


• Bonus: familiarity with cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure.

• Competitive compensation package including base salary, equity, and performance-related components.


• Fully remote-friendly work environment with flexibility across EMEA.


• Opportunity to work on large-scale distributed systems powering global applications.


• High-impact engineering role within a fast-growing, profitable technology company.


• Strong engineering culture focused on autonomy, ownership, and technical excellence.


• Exposure to cutting-edge database infrastructure and distributed systems challenges.


• Inclusive and diverse work environment supporting continuous learning and growth.
