Golang Job Details

The world loves Postgres. If you work with developers or data scientists or anyone wrangling data, you'll probably see a sticker with the tusks and trunk of the Postgres elephant on the lid of a nearby laptop. EDB has a lot to do with that.

We've been major contributors to Postgres since the beginning, and we are proud to call thousands of boundary pushing customers our partners. Proud though we are, we are not resting on our laurels. There's plenty of work to do. The good news is that everything we do will impact Postgres, which is to say that it will impact the world. No pressure.

We are looking for a great Go developer who wants to build mission-critical failover management tools for PostgreSQL, and can think about the problem at all levels of the infrastructure, from the edge to the DC, to individual hosts, to the database engine itself. Ideal candidates will take pride in delivering idiomatic, well documented, thoroughly tested applications that deliver value to their user.

Responsibilities

  • Work in our HA/Failover Management team, designing, developing our next generation failover management software.
  • Be part of a team that owns all phases of the product development life cycle, from conception to delivery to customers, including support/operation if required.
  • Build quality and security directly into the product, by taking advantage of automated testing and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Collaborate with engineering teams across the world, mentor, share information with and learn from other engineers and help drive continuous improvement of our platform, without losing focus on the flow that generates customers' value.
  • Bring an inquisitive, innovative & collegiate attitude to problem solving.

Requirements

  • 4+ years experience in a Go engineering position
  • Written non-trivial Go apps, deployed to solve real word, mission-critical problems
  • Familiarity with HAProxy, Envoy or similar technologies
  • Familiarity with consensus tools (etcd, consul, zoo keeper etc)
  • Experienced in CI/CD development process

Plusses

  • Understanding of the Postgres ecosystem, used/managed Postgres
  • Can talk with confidence around the trade offs CAP theorem describes and the approaches of various consensus algorithms (Raft, Paxos etc)
  • Modern software development tools & architectures
  • Understand, and ideally have used, tools such as Jepsen or Chaos Monkey to test systems under realistic failure conditions
  • Experience in a TDD environment, and the experience to know when testing is sufficient
  • Have worked in a "you build it you run it" environment, familiarity with dealing with customer situations
  • Involvement in OSS communities (not just Postgres, though that's a double plus!)

We know it takes a unique mix of people and skills to help us in our mission to supercharge Postgres, and we understand that not everyone will check every box. We'd love to hear from you and we want you to apply!

EDB is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. EDB was built on a commitment to trust and respect each other and to embrace an array of people and ideas. These values remain at the center of our culture and are key to our company's integrity.
