Staff Engineer (DBMS)

Responsibilities

We expect you to work on the core of the product which is written in C++.

• You will be researching existing state-of-the-art in BFT consensus protocols. This involves reading papers and adapting suitable protocols to our implementation.
• You'll also work on implementing protocol simulators to validate of our hypotheses.
• You'll work with the team of engineers to decompose big projects into smaller pieces and drive their implementation.
• You'll help maintain the high quality of the codebase, and make sure that good development practices are followed.

Qualifications

• First, as this is a Staff Engineer role, you'd need to demonstrate that you have delivered reasonably big projects in the past. You need to have experience of driving the development and being a key contributor in such projects.
• We don't put a lower bound on the amount of years of experience that you should have (but more than 10 years of experience is desirable).
• You need to have significant previous experience in either data-intensive projects, or the ones that deal with networks.
• We would also require knowledge of one of the systems programming languages like C++, C or Rust. Which one is not very important.
• Good writing skills will be a plus, as we are a distributed team and rely on written communication a lot.
• You should also have a solid understanding of the Linux user space and be familiar with troubleshooting and debugging.
