Job Description:

As a member of our Cloud team you will have broad exposure to all of the systems that make Materialize operate. You will build and run our fully managed cloud service, contribute directly to our self-managed offering, and make improvements to our internal operational systems. We are looking for a versatile, customer-centric engineer who can take charge of some of the hardest problems in our infrastructure. Projects in this space include (but are no means limited to!): developing rock-solid Kubernetes operators, making our continuous deployment pipeline silky smooth, securing and deploying MCP frontends to our database, hardening our billing pipeline, optimizing binpacking, developing our self-managed Helm chart, and expanding our offering into new clouds.

Job Responsibility:

Own and operate our managed cloud, ensuring security, availability, and performance for our SaaS product
Automate and streamline operations: write database orchestration logic, maintain robust CI pipelines, and bring order to the intersection points between cloud infra and business operations
Contribute to our self-managed offering that enables customers to deploy Materialize in their cloud of choice
Debug and resolve complex distributed cloud issues—from tricky network glitches to Kubernetes operator quirks and third-party integrations

Requirements:

5+ years of software engineering experience
strong experience with at least one cloud provider (AWS, GCP, Azure)
strong experience with at least one infrastructure-as-code tool (Terraform, Pulumi, etc.)
impact oriented, excited to ramp up in new areas, and comfortable with navigating ambiguity
possess a growth mindset
clear communicator and enjoy collaborating closely across teams
enjoy taking ownership of large problems, and have a track record of leading successful cross-cutting projects

Nice to have:

Experience with GCP and/or Azure
Experience operating production databases or managing other critical systems
Willingness to participate in our voluntary on-call rotation
