Job Description
The world loves Postgres. If you work with developers or data scientists or anyone wrangling data, you’ll probably see a sticker with the tusks and trunk of the Postgres elephant on the lid of a nearby laptop. EDB has a lot to do with that.
We’ve been major contributors to Postgres since the beginning, and we are proud to call thousands of boundary pushing customers our partners. Proud though we are, we are not resting on our laurels. There’s plenty of work to do. The good news is that everything we do will impact Postgres, which is to say that it will impact the world. No pressure.
We are currently looking for a hands-on software engineer to join our BDR (Bi-directional Replication) product development team building EDB's strategic replication technologies. As a core capability of our portfolio, BDR enables our customers with highly available and performant multi-node and cross-regional Postgres clusters for modern distributed computing environments. Joining as a member of the team, you will be expected to design, develop and document new system capabilities and improve existing system capabilities in accordance to customer requirements while meeting EDB’s quality standards. You can learn more about BDR capabilities and its targeted use case here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFiocow_D54).

• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to other engineers through code reviews and effective documentation.
• Recommend new technologies and/or processes that can improve productivity.
• Collaborate with other development teams to design and implement robust integration patterns and processes.
Requirements
• 8+ years of experience working as a hands-on software engineer
• 3+ years of experience in building and deploying distributed systems.
• In-depth knowledge of C & Database Internals
• Appreciation of both the theoretical and practical aspects of distributed systems
• In-depth understanding of databases and knowledge of SQL
• Understands and willing to follow whole modern software development life cycle processes
• Ability to work independently and as part of a distributed international team
Plusses
• Experience contributing patches to the Postgres open-source project is a major plus.
• Calm and methodical approach with good communication skills
• Experience working within a “you build it, you own it” culture.
• Experience with Azure, AWS, and GCP
• Experience with Ansible, Docker and Kubernetes
• Experience with test driven development
• Experience with databases in production environments
• Strong problem-solving skills, at times this may be under pressure when in production
We know it takes a unique mix of people and skills to help us in our mission to supercharge Postgres, and we understand that not everyone will check every box. We’d love to hear from you and we want you to apply!
