Senior Software Engineer (Caching and Databases R and D team)

Role overview

Our client is seeking a skilled senior software engineer with deep expertise in databases.
It’s more about understanding database underlying technology than just knowing how to use it. Knowing the implementation details on transactions, WAL, indexes and many other fundamental database features enables us to build a product around it.
The candidate will be able to work on a stealth project with a high impact on the outcome.

  • Strong knowledge in following databases (list is sorted by importance): postgres, mysql, mongo, bigQuery, clickhouse
  • Strong programming skills in Go and/or C++
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to troubleshoot complex issues in a production environment
  • Experience working with and developing performant and robust caching would be an advantage
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills in English

Here are some of the technologies they use in the stack:

  • Mostly Golang with C++ in most critical data pathways
  • Clickhouse for business metrics
  • GCP PubSub for messaging
  • GRPC and REST APIs
  • GitLab CI with ArgoCD as our GitOps CD engine
  • Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, and Tempo for observability
  • Deployment charts are written in Helm.

Experience with everything mentioned is not a strict prerequisite for the ideal candidate, but it does offer a competitive edge.
