Role

Who you are

Strong programming skills (we mostly use Go but are more concerned with good fundamentals)
Extensive experience with at least one major cloud provider (AWS preferred)
Experience designing, understanding, and debugging complex distributed systems
Deep knowledge of Linux, container environments, bash, and infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform, Pulumi)
Some experience programming in the Kubernetes ecosystem or using the Kubernetes API (operators, controllers, and custom CRDs)
Experience deploying, operating, and using major production-level databases. Huge bonus points for PostgreSQL and/or TimescaleDB!
Experience deploying and maintaining Kubernetes clusters at scale. Knowledge of Kubernetes cluster orchestration tools like kops or kubeadm a plus

What the job involves

We're looking for experienced engineers to help us build and maintain the platform for our managed TimescaleDB cloud services. You will be able to work with a close-knit team, building and maintaining the infrastructure that powers our platform
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.
Additionally, you will work closely with and further develop our infrastructure tooling to ensure our clusters' health, stability, and maintainability
You will also get a lot of hands-on experience debugging and optimizing TimescaleDB and Postgres workloads

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.
