About the role
Cast AI 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, wire protocol, 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 greenfield project with a high impact on the outcome.
Requirements:
Strong knowledge in one of the following databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL
Experience as a Database Administrator or in a role with significant hands-on work with databases
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
Ability to work independently and collaboratively within a team
Startup mindset: adaptable, proactive, and comfortable with ambiguity
A proactive, problem-solving mindset with a “yes we can” attitude.
Here are some of the tools we use daily:
Mostly Golang with C++ in the most critical data pathways
Extending Envoy with custom network filters
ClickHouse and PostgreSQL for business metrics
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.
