  • Having a Bachelor's or equivalent in Computer Science, STEM, or a similar degree
  • Willingness to travel up to 4 times a year for internal events

You might also have experience in some of the following, which will influence the role and level considered:

  • Operating and managing data platform technologies like PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, OpenSearch, Kafka, Yugabyte, Trino, Superset, Atlas, Ranger, and Redis
  • Linux systems administration, package management, and operations
  • Experience with public or private cloud solutions like OpenStack
  • Experience operating Kubernetes clusters and a belief in their use for persistent data services
What we offer you

Your base pay depends on factors such as location, experience, knowledge, and skills. Additional benefits may include bonuses and incentives based on revenue or utilization. Our compensation philosophy aims for equity across our global workforce.

Additional benefits include:

  • Fully remote work environment — operational since 2004
  • Personal learning and development budget of $2,000 USD per year
  • Annual compensation review
  • Recognition rewards
  • Annual holiday leave
  • Parental leave
  • Employee Assistance Programme
  • Opportunities to travel for meetings and sprints
