SingleStore is a distributed SQL database that brings transactions and analytics together in one high-performance platform. Our technology helps organizations work with data in real time across cloud and self-managed environments.
The Database Engine team builds the core technology behind SingleStore, including query execution, optimization, storage, data ingestion, reliability, and performance. This is an opportunity to work on systems software that powers a production database used at significant scale.
As a University Graduate Software Engineer, you will work with experienced engineers to design, implement, test, and improve production-quality database software. You will own well-scoped projects, contribute to technical discussions, and develop a strong foundation in systems and database engineering.
Your work may include:
Developing features for the SingleStore database engine
Improving query execution, optimization, and runtime performance
Working on storage engines, indexing, transactions, or data management
Building reliable distributed-system components
Investigating and resolving performance, scalability, and correctness issues
Writing production code, tests, documentation, and technical designs
Collaborating with engineers, product managers, and cross-functional partners
Projects are delivered through regular release cycles, giving you the opportunity to see your work move from design to production.
