Senior Software Engineer, Storage Platform

You will build and improve core infrastructure used by many engineering teams, with a focus on reliability, performance, and operational excellence. You will deliver key components of data plane and control plane systems such as connection pooling, query routing, automation workflows, and observability. You will work closely with peers to design pragmatic solutions, reduce toil through automation, and operate storage systems at scale.

Responsibilities

• Build and ship services that improve database reliability and performance, including connection pooling, query routing, and database access patterns
• Implement automation that reduces manual work for operating databases and caching clusters at scale (provisioning, configuration changes, backups, and routine operations)
• Improve observability for storage systems by adding metrics, logs, and alerts that help detect issues early and speed up incident response
• Diagnose and resolve production issues across storage infrastructure, including latency regressions, capacity constraints, and availability events
• Contribute to engineering standards for secure database connectivity (for example, encryption-in-transit) and safe usage guardrails

Requirements

• Strong experience building and operating backend or infrastructure systems in production environments
• Solid knowledge of PostgreSQL and relational database concepts (schema design, indexing, query performance, replication fundamentals)
• Proficiency in at least one backend language such as Go or Rust, with the ability to learn existing codebases quickly
• Experience with cloud infrastructure and containers (AWS and Kubernetes preferred), plus hands-on operational skills (on-call, incident response, and post-incident follow-ups)
• Familiarity with system observability practices and performance measurement (metrics, dashboards, logs, and tracing)

Benefits

• 100% paid health insurance for employees with 90% coverage for dependents
• Lifestyle wallet — a highly flexible benefits spending account for wellness, learning, and more
• Employer-paid life & disability insurance
