Experience building tooling and APIs; experience with 3rd party integrations is a plus

What the job involves

We seek a skilled software engineer to join our team focused on building and maintaining our API platform and integration tooling at Timescale.
You will have the opportunity to work with a close-knit team, developing Golang services that power our users’ TimescaleDB experience. You will design and architect features and services from the ground up and have ownership over them from the design phase through deployment to production
Ownership of features and services from inception through deployment and ongoing production support
Design, develop, and maintain APIs and tooling to enable integrations from and to Timescale

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.
