Job description
Arango delivers a unified, natively multimodel contextual data platform that powers AI agents, assistants, and applications with the unified, current, and trusted business context needed to reason, decide, and act at scale.

The Arango Contextual Data Platform connects fragmented enterprise data with LLMs, copilots, and AI agents through a simplified architecture delivered out of the box. By combining graph, vector, document, key-value, and search capabilities in a single platform, Arango eliminates the complex stacks many organizations build to operationalize enterprise AI.

Trusted by organizations including NVIDIA, HPE, the London Stock Exchange, PSI CRO, the U.S. Air Force, NIH, Siemens, Transient.AI, Matpriskollen, and Articul8, Arango helps enterprises move from AI pilots to reliable production systems faster while lowering infrastructure complexity and total cost of ownership. Arango is a proud member of the NVIDIA Inception Program and the AWS ISV Accelerate Program.

Location: Only candidates in the USA will be considered for the role (Remote).

We are seeking a Senior Engineer to lead development of the ArangoDB operator, responsible for ensuring robust lifecycle management, scaling, back-up, and replication capabilities for ArangoDB running on Kubernetes. You will shape the architecture of core operator components, design and implement new features, influence best practices for deploying stateful systems on Kubernetes, and ensure that ArangoDB continues to meet enterprise-grade expectations for performance, consistency, and stability. This is an opportunity to own a critical part of our ecosystem and directly impact how modern AI-driven applications run in production.

Responsibilities

Lead the design and development of the ArangoDB Kubernetes Operator.
Own core operator architecture and implement features for lifecycle management, scaling, backup, and replication.
Ensure high availability, performance, and stability of ArangoDB on Kubernetes.

Collaborate with engineering teams to align operator capabilities with enterprise and cloud requirements.
Troubleshoot complex issues across Kubernetes and distributed systems.
This role supports a U.S. Air Force project and requires U.S. citizenship.
Support extension of the solution into GovCloud (AWS)

Key Qualifications

4+ years of programming and Cloud experience
Deep expertise in Kubernetes, CRDs and operators (deployments, custom resources like ArangoDeployment, ArangoBackup, ArangoLocalStorage, replication, etc.)
Strong experience in Go (the operator is written in Go) plus solid understanding of concurrency, storage, and distributed system concerns.
Strong experience in Cloud solutions, especially AWS. AWS GovCloud is an additional point
Proven background in designing and managing production-grade distributed databases or stateful systems, including storage management and data replication. (e.g., persistent volumes, snapshot/backup, failover, cluster scaling)
Familiarity with storage concepts in Kubernetes: PersistentVolumes, PVCs, local storage, volume resizing, storage performance tuning.
Operational mindset: ability to ensure stability, handle upgrades/migrations, observability/metrics, and manage cluster lifecycle through automation and best practices.
Strong communication and leadership skills: able to drive technical discussions, review code, mentor contributors, write clear design documents and documentation for both internal and external users.
U.S. citizenship is required.
Active security clearance is preferred.

What Makes Arango Special?

Our mission is to help organizations build AI systems that can reason, decide and act based on unified, current, and trusted business context at scale. We are helping define a new category of infrastructure: the contextual data layer for AI.

Working at Arango means:

Contributing to cutting-edge AI and data infrastructure
Collaborating with experienced engineers, marketers, and product leaders
Helping shape how enterprises build AI-powered applications
