Job Description

As a senior software engineer on the Storage team, you will have the unique benefit of building systems software in a rapid production environment with a small and collaborative team. This includes overseeing the direction, design and development of key features. In this position, you will be empowered to leverage your technical, leadership, and business acumen while mentoring other engineers who are eager to learn from you.

At SingleStore, the Storage Team owns most of the low-level architecture of the system. This architecture is a distributed, shared-nothing and cloud-native system, which is a big part of how our product's scalability works. This includes working with (and building) cluster management, replication, consensus, fault-tolerance, and system of record features and other core distributed system concepts.
