Role

Who you are

While experience building AI applications is not required, it is definitely a big plus if applying to this role
You should, however, have a strong interest in gen-AI and in building developer tools to help AI developers
Product thinking is also very important for this role
5+ years of engineering experience
Strong programming skills (we mostly use Go but are more concerned with good fundamentals)
Experience building gen-AI applications is preferred
Experience designing, understanding, and debugging complex distributed systems
Deep knowledge of Linux, container environments, bash, and infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform, Pulumi)
Experience building SaaS developer tools preferred

What the job involves

We are a data platform company that is aiming to develop new SaaS tools to help AI developers develop AI-based applications
Timescale is looking for an experienced Backend Engineer with a track record of building great SaaS and cloud services to help us develop these tools
This is a new product and thus it is an exciting opportunity to play a central role in developing the next great AI developer platform
You will be responsible for playing a core role in designing, developing and implementing backend services to power everything from running the latest open-source models to building state-of-the-art tools for eval and tracing
This is a fast evolving space and you need to be a nimble “jack of all trades” engineer that’s excited to be working on new projects and with new technologies
You will get a lot of hands-on experience at the intersection of AI applications and data
Timescale is an all-remote organization open to candidates in American and European timezones to allow for team collaboration
This is a full-time position

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.
