Job Description

Join a small, highly skilled team where your work will have a direct impact. Expect to dig deep into replication, sharding, concurrency, and performance optimization—making our systems faster, smarter, and more resilient. You’ll collaborate globally, contribute to open source, and push the limits of what a distributed database can do.

Build and test distributed database solutions that scale. Make systems rock-solid in performance and reliability, across both on-prem and cloud. Work on replication, sharding, and consistency models (Raft, MVCC, ACID). Profile, debug, and fine-tune performance with tools like perf, htop, iostat—and your own tricks. Keep code clean and reviewable with Git. Shape infrastructure using CMake or Bazel. Configure and monitor with YAML/JSONnet, Prometheus, and Grafana. Dive into Linux/Unix internals (systemd, cgroups, logging, core dumps). Automate testing and performance validation with load-testing scripts (YandexTank or your own).
