Role

Who you are

We're looking for an experienced software engineer who is interested in contributing to these efforts
More specifically, we're looking to augment the team with an engineer that is experienced with different methods for full-stack application deployment and CI/CD workflows
Importantly, we want to find someone that is opinionated about different approaches in this area (What do you think about serverless? And what about GitOps? When is Kubernetes overkill?)
Very robust technical communication skills, preferably with experience in a remote and primarily asynchronous work environment
Working in a time zone that roughly matches EU or US East Coast hours
Experience with cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes and designing medium to large scale architectures for data processing
Has spent a long time (5+ years) working on production software in either Golang, Rust, Python, or Node.js

What the job involves

Neon is an open-source company on a mission to enable developers to ship faster on a serverless platform (which is powered by Postgres at the bottom of the stack)
As we've grown our serverless Postgres offering, we're now looking to expand it with more functionalities at the application development layer

Our take

Modern data storage systems for web, mobile, geospatial and analytics applications are commonly based on PostgreSQL, an open-source relational database management system. Whilst its open-source nature yields many benefits, the system was developed over 25 years ago and thus is not optimized for modern multi-cloud infrastructures.

Neon provides a cloud-native serverless PostgreSQL launching system, separating storage and computing requirements to facilitate unlimited storage, branching, and autoscaling. The system's flexibility comes from automatic computing activation and shutdown to save resources on inactivity, ultimately adapting each database to its real-time processing requirements.

Whilst standard PostgreSQL databases are certainly more documented and prevalent, Neon has shown great potential to innovate upon it through its focus on multi-cloud infrastructure and flexible scalability. The company also stands out by providing early access to users for free, providing them with 3 projects, up to 10GB storage, and computing capabilities of up to 1 vCPU per 256MB. Its work in the sector has led to substantial funding in 2023, which is being used to elevate its R&D in the AI space, as well as plans to double its workforce.
