Job Responsibility

  • Lead and contribute to strategic engineering initiatives across core database functionality, data ingestion, connectors, integrations, and platform components
  • Perform technical research, evaluation, and prototyping to explore new ideas, architectures, and technologies, and assess their feasibility, performance, and impact
  • Design and implement robust, scalable, and maintainable software, taking exploratory work through to production readiness
  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional engineering teams to align on architecture, manage product development dependencies, and drive cross-team execution
  • Take ownership of complex problem areas and translate high-level goals into clear technical designs and deliverables
  • Contribute to initiatives that may span on-prem, cloud, or hybrid environments, considering performance, scalability, and operational constraints
  • Stay updated with the latest advancements in database technologies and development methodologies, and actively contribute to building a strong product and platform competency knowledge base within the Chennai development center

Requirements

  • 8+ years of experience as a software engineer working on complex, backend, or system-level software
  • Strong proficiency in C++ or Python, with solid expertise in multithreading, data structures, performance optimization techniques, and algorithmic optimization
  • Hands-on experience building and maintaining high-performance, scalable systems, preferably in data-intensive or platform-oriented environments
  • Good understanding of software architecture, system design, and engineering trade-offs
  • Ability to collaborate effectively across teams and work on problems that span multiple components and technical domains

Nice to have

  • Experience with Rust or other modern systems programming languages is a plus
  • Prior exposure to database internals, such as SQL compilers, query optimizers, execution engines, or storage subsystems, is highly desirable
  • Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and an understanding of how large-scale systems behave in cloud or hybrid environments is a plus
  • Strong understanding of Linux fundamentals, including POSIX concepts (processes, memory, sockets, IPC), and experience debugging or optimizing system-level behavior in performance-sensitive environments
  • Proven ability to design, debug, and optimize concurrent and performance critical systems
  • Solid problem-solving skills with a structured and analytical approach
  • Ability to balance engineering rigor with pragmatism, especially when working on strategic or exploratory initiatives
  • Degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
  • Fluency in English, with strong written and verbal communication skills

What we offer

  • Competitive compensation
  • A structured onboarding program and hands-on mentorship
