We provide and operate hundreds of managed database instances for critical teams in VMware and provide database management solutions to external customers. Our primary focus is on PostgreSQL and MySQL databases, which is not surprising since these are the most popular databases in the World. Over time, we will encounter every possible performance, scalability, and reliability challenge that a database operator may face. As a Software Engineer (preferably with GoLang), part of our Cloud Data Infrastructure group, you will design how to solve those challenges and actively participate in real customers' product realization. You will join a motivated team with solid expertise in software development and you will deliver together with us the next groundbreaking database-as-a-service product. That will help you grow to be a world-class expert in delivering enterprise quality software.

Within the first months of employment, become competent with the project, guidelines and standard operations. You will work closely with more senior members of the team as part of a Scrum team and you will make your first contributions to the project. Within 90 days (about 3 months) of employment, you will start working on a feature for the product in a small sub-team. Within 180 days (about 6 months) of employment, you will become experienced engineer in the database management project and be responsible for crafting requirements for assigned features, designing and coding robust solutions and ensuring quality levels through continuous integration, monitoring and testing. You will be able to support our existing internal customers directly interfacing with them to solve application and deployment quandaries. Within the first year of employment, you will be making larger changes to the project from start to finish, including designing the change and going through the architectural review process, implementing the changes. What type of work will I be doing? What assignments will I be performing on a regular basis? Typical assignments for your position will be: Research how to configure and deploy PostgreSQL, and in the future other databases, to achieve the outcomes above. Automate in your tool of choice – Terraform, Ansible, Kubernetes Controllers (Golang) – applying that configuration. Enhance or implement new features directly into the product. Define metrics for each outcome and test configuration changes at scale. Troubleshoot database issues that occur in our test environment or in the deployments of our customers. Adapt your design accordingly. Who is the hiring manager? What is the structure of the team/organization I will be working with?
