Software Engineer

At Yugabyte , we are on a mission to become the default transactional database for enterprises building cloud-native applications. YugabyteDB is our PostgreSQL-compatible distributed database for cloud-native apps. Resilient, scalable, and flexible, it runs on any cloud and enables developers to become instantly productive using well-known APIs.We are looking for talented and driven people to join us on our ambitious mission and help us build a lasting and impactful company.The transactional database market is estimated to grow to $64B by 2025. YugabyteDB is cloud-native by design, has on-demand horizontal scalability, and supports geographical distribution of data using built-in replication. This means that we are well-positioned to meet market demand for geo-distributed, high-scale, high-performance workloads. Join the Database Revolution at Yugabyte. Modern applications need a cloud-native database that eliminates tradeoffs and silos. YugabyteDB retains the power and familiarity of PostgreSQL by pairing its trusted API with a precision-engineered, distributed, cloud-native architecture. Even better, it’s 100% open source. Many of the world's leading enterprises are migrating from legacy RDBMSs (like Oracle, SQL Server, and DB2) to YugabyteDB, to meet their mission-critical app demands.

About the Role: We are looking for an engineer with a passion for systems programming and a curiosity for how databases work under the hood. You will be part of a team building the core of our database engine—working on change data capture, connection management, storage engine internals, and performance optimizations. This is a hands-on role where you'll work deep in C/C++ code, exploring distributed systems and engineering the building blocks that make databases scale efficiently. Responsibilities: Design, develop, and optimize core components of the database engine (storage layer, change data capture, connection manager, query layer etc.) Investigate and fix complex issues related to performance, memory usage, and concurrency Write high-quality, well-tested, and maintainable C/C++ code Collaborate with senior engineers to understand and extend database internals Use profiling and debugging tools to diagnose bottlenecks in low-level code paths Requirements: 10+ years of experience in systems programming (C/C++ preferred) Strong understanding of operating systems concepts (processes, threads, virtual memory, synchronization) Solid knowledge of data structures, algorithms, and computer architecture Experience debugging and profiling low-level code (e.g., gdb, perf) Familiarity ...
