Sr. Software Engineer

SingleStore engineers build the real-time data platform powering some of the world’s most demanding applications. As a Senior or Principal Software Engineer on the Managed Service (Helios) team, you will build and own release-defining projects at the intersection of distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, networking, and database technology. Helios runs thousands of SingleStore clusters across AWS, Azure, and GCP — autonomously deployed, scaled, secured, and healed on top of Kubernetes — operating at the frontier of multi-cloud, multi-region, multi-tenant, low-latency, always-on systems.

Responsibilities

Lead technical design and decision-making for large, release-defining projects impacting SingleStore's cloud platform, spanning distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and database technology; Design and implement new capabilities across networking, control plane, and managed service infrastructure, including multi-cloud and multi-region architecture, secure connectivity, identity, and storage; Solve complex, mission-critical system problems with solutions that are scalable, maintainable, and resilient — covering consistency, availability, performance, isolation, security, and cost across thousands of tenants on shared and dedicated infrastructure; Investigate, debug, and fix issues in the cloud — diagnosing elusive distributed-systems bugs, noisy-neighbor regressions, and subtle cross-cloud asymmetries in production

Requirements

Strong understanding of and hands-on experience with distributed systems and cloud services; 4+ years of experience developing and debugging system-level software in languages similar to Golang, C++, or Rust (more for Principal); Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience; Demonstrated ability to design and build highly reliable, high-performance system software; Track record of leading non-trivial projects from design through production rollout, navigating ambiguity along the way

Nice to have

Knowledge of database architecture and operating systems; Familiarity with distributed systems managed via Kubernetes; Hands-on experience with one or more major clouds (AWS, Azure, GCP), including cloud networking and identity; Experience with workflow engines, observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana), and Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform / Terragrunt)

Merit increases; Annual bonuses (eligible for certain roles)
