Role

Who you are

This role is for a hands-on generalist who’s equally excited to:
Build for our internal teams
And create tools that help other developers build better agents and AI-native apps
Are a generalist engineer with 5+ years of experience
Care about helping other developers build faster — you know a good DX is a force multiplier
Have used AI in production — to build agents, automate workflows, or prototype fast
Have solid backend skills (Go, Python, Postgres, etc.), but can jump into frontend if needed
Like to move quickly, take ownership, and figure things out without a 20-page brief
Are curious, humble, and default to action

What the job involves

You’ll be a builder from day one — no waiting for specs, no hiding behind process. We want someone who’s energized by internal velocity, unbothered by ambiguity, and obsessed with getting useful things in the hands of real users, fast
This is a chance to work across internal and open-source projects, shape our approach to agent tooling, and directly influence how modern dev teams build with AI
Building, maintaining, and improving internal AI tools that support teams across the company — from sales to support to engineering
Creating and contributing to open-source tools that help AI developers build agents with PostgreSQL and TigerData
Working closely with product, design, and other engineers to get from 0→1 fast — then ship improvements as we learn
Making decisions quickly (and pivoting when needed)
Bringing a product-minded lens to internal tools — your users might sit in the next Slack channel, but they deserve real UX
We don't require previous experience with our tech stack, but enthusiasm for learning is key. Our technologies include PostgreSQL, Tiger Cloud, AWS, Go, Docker, Kubernetes, Python, and innovative features like Hypertables, Hypercore, vector search, and real-time analytics

Application process

We respond to every applicant
We review applications fairly and objectively, and shortlist based on relevant skills and experience
We ensure clear and timely communication throughout your candidate journey
We maintain a rigorous interview process with a high bar, designed to give you the opportunity to meet various team members you'll collaborate with across our organization

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.
