About the Role
Headquarters: Remote PlanetScale is growing rapidly and reinventing the database space. The PlanetScale platform delivers a fully managed, multi-cloud Postgres service designed for the most demanding production workloads. We handle the complexity of provisioning, scaling, replication, and failover - so engineering teams can focus on building their products. Our customers entrust us with their most precious digital asset, their data, so the stakes couldn't be higher. We're looking for a Software Engineer to join our Postgres engineering team and help us build a world-class managed Postgres offering. What's the job to be done? You will design and build the control plane that provisions, scales, and heals Postgres clusters with minimal customer-visible downtime. You will build and maintain high availability, disaster recovery, and data protection solutions that keep customer databases safe through infrastructure failures. You will tune Postgres to operate at scale for some of the largest and most demanding workloads in the world. You will build tooling and automation for database operations, backup, restore, and migration workflows - and participate in an on-call rotation. You will work directly with customers to understand their workloads and translate real-world needs into platform improvements. These attributes best describe you… You have strong experience building, operating, or maintaining large-scale Postgres deployments in production. You have an excellent understanding of low-level operating systems concepts including multi-threading, memory management, networking, storage, and performance. You have strong fundamental computer science skills and can reason about distributed, fault-tolerant systems. You thrive in a collaborative environment, enjoy mentoring other engineers, and communicate complex technical tradeoffs clearly. You are self-motivated and can work independently with minimal guidance while making sound technical decisions.
