Postgres with highly available scale out storage

11 - 50

Description

• Neon is building open-source cloud-native PostgreSQL. Our architecture separates storage from compute, allowing for stateless and serverless Postgres. We’re a well funded startup with deep knowledge of Postgres internals and decades of experience building databases. We are a systems company; we work on low-level code with strict performance and correctness requirements. • Neon was created by a team of Postgres hackers and led by CEO Nikita Shamgunov (co-founder of SingleStore). Neon is built on open-source principles and is focused on giving back to the Postgres and developer communities.

Requirements

• At least 4 years of production experience in Software engineering • Practical experience with the go programming language (1+ year) • Extensive experience with any other low-level backend programming language (C, C++, Rust, etc.) • Strong background in Linux system programming, Kubernetes, virtual machines (e.g., QEMU), containers, and distributed systems • Passion for building systems software. Performance engineering and distributed systems are topics that excite you! • Experience with open-source projects and developing publicly is a plus • Passion for joining a fast-paced, early-stage startup • Track record of identifying problems, implementing solutions and delivering complex projects in distributed systems or databases • Strong sense of ownership, accountability and pride • Excellent English verbal and writing skills (native or near-native speaker)

Benefits

• You have an opportunity to be an early employee in the fast-scaling ambitious team • You can work 100% remote: we'll handle all formalities to arrange work from your home • We pay top of the market in most parts of the world • We grant equity (stock options) to all full-time hires • We offer a competitive benefits package in line with all tech companies (top-notch equipment, unlimited vacations, paid parental leaves, and much more) • We are distributed, yet make our bonds during regular offsites (the last one was in Barcelona)
