Yugabyte is the company behind YugabyteDB, the AI-ready, multi-modal, distributed PostgreSQL database for cloud-native apps. Trusted by industry leaders including Shopify, Paramount+, GM, Kroger, Fiserv, and NPCI, YugabyteDB has been deployed in over 100 countries and powers more than 5 million clusters worldwide.
Together, our hard-working team of experts and our industry-leading technology are uniquely positioned to meet the demands of modern workloads: geo-distributed, ultra-resilient, and built to scale without limits.
Our Yugabeings (distributed, like our database) span 12+ countries and multiple time zones, sharing expertise from diverse backgrounds and industries.
As a Software Engineer, you will work on a broad range of technical and product challenges across the YugabyteDB ecosystem and Meko (mekodata.ai). The problems you work on will evolve over time — and that is intentional.
Meko is our AI-focused product initiative, giving engineers an opportunity to work hands-on with modern AI technologies and build real-world AI-powered experiences.
You will:
We are looking for a generalist engineer with strong fundamentals rather than someone who knows only one technology deeply.
You should have:
Experience with modern frontend technologies such as JavaScript/TypeScript, React, HTML, and CSS is a plus, particularly for engineers interested in building end-to-end product experiences.
You don’t need to be an expert in every technology listed above. Curiosity, strong fundamentals, technical breadth, and the ability to learn quickly are more important than matching every item.
We value engineers who actively seek to grow and are comfortable operating in an environment where priorities and problems evolve.
You should:
Technical ability alone isn’t enough for this role.
We are looking for someone who:
We particularly value candidates who can demonstrate strong communication, collaboration, and adaptability through their previous work and experiences.
AI is changing both how software is built and how products are created.
Through YugabyteDB and Meko, you will have opportunities to explore and apply AI in practical engineering and product scenarios.
This could include:
You don’t need to be an AI specialist. You need to be curious about AI and willing to learn, experiment, and apply it.
You will be successful if you:
This role is for engineers who don’t want their growth to be constrained by a narrow job description.
You will work on challenging problems involving distributed databases, cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, developer tooling, AI, and large-scale systems.
At the same time, you will have the opportunity to help build Meko, an AI-focused product initiative, and gain hands-on experience with technologies such as LLMs, AI agents, MCP, RAG, and AI-native applications.
The role combines deep technology with product building, giving you the opportunity to develop breadth across systems, cloud, applications, and AI while working with a highly collaborative engineering team.
If you are curious, adaptable, technically strong, proactive, and excited by problems that don’t always have obvious answers, we’d like to hear from you.
