Role OverviewAs a Software Engineer on the Core Database Engineering team, you will have an opportunity to work across the SQL layer, query execution, storage, replication, and transactional subsystems of YugabyteDB. You will collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to solve complex problems, ensuring YugabyteDB remains robust, reliable, and performance at scale.
What You Will Do
Write high-quality C/C++ code (and contribute in other languages as needed) with comprehensive automated tests; participate actively in code reviews. Add unit tests, integration tests, and regression tests to ensure correctness and stability. Improve database scalability and throughput as cluster sizes and transaction volumes grow.
Why It Might Be a Fit
This role is designed for engineers who are excited about databases, distributed systems, and systems programming, and want hands-on experience building a large-scale, production-grade distributed database.
Requirements
