We’re a global team of over 400 people, working together to push the boundaries of open-source technology and multi-cloud solutions. Our vision is to help developers, builders, and creators bring their ideas to life with speed and simplicity, by providing a cloud data platform that makes open-source databases, search, streaming, and application infrastructure easily accessible to everyone. We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Database OEM team. This is a highly visible, cross-cutting team focused on delivering Aiven's database services (PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Valkey) to our most strategic, high-revenue partners, ensuring their unique needs, scale, and challenges are met with world-class solutions. In this role, you will be key to designing customer-specific solutions and driving direct and indirect enhancements across these three database services. Success requires close collaboration with internal Product teams to advocate for partner needs and a strong commitment to increasing automation and reaction speed of critical partner requests. You will be expected to balance internal engineering needs with external partner requirements, acting as a crucial interface. Given the high-stakes nature of this work, you must be an excellent communicator with great attention to detail, capable of seamlessly managing context between different high-value customers. Our core philosophy is to automate everything and eliminate repetitive manual work. Our backend systems are primarily implemented in Python, with components in Java, Go, and C.
