Your work will be instrumental in developing our Kubernetes-based clusters and infrastructure
You will interact with the Kubernetes API and codebase to build controllers, operators, and applications that power our platform
Work closely with and further develop our infrastructure tooling to ensure the health, stability, and maintainability of our clusters

Collaborate with software engineering teams to ensure platform scalability and performance
Stay up to date with the latest industry trends, tools, and technologies related to Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure

Our take

Timescale helps developers and businesses manage and analyze big data sets that power large-scale operations. It offers this through its own open-source time-series SQL database which, unlike many competitors, is built with PostgreSQL.

The product’s broad client applications include finance, logistics, and space. It serves hundreds of customers, with tens of thousands of other organizations using the TimescaleDB platform in the community (including companies like IBM, Microsoft, Pfizer, and Samsung, among others.)

Timescale has also landed substantial funding, becoming a Unicorn back in 2022. This all signifies the value that Timescale's platform provides. The company continues to grow, investing across product, engineering, and R&D, as well as broadening its efforts in serving the Timescale community.
