About the role
Description Are you a database expert, or passionate about building database technologies that supports relentless growth and innovation?
We are looking for experienced Core Database Internal Engineers with a strong database internals and distributed systems background to work in a team responsible for architecting, developing and testing the next generation of RDBMS. You will join a team of world class, highly motivated software engineers and database experts. You will design and develop robust and highly scalable software products to support the staggering growth of Salesforce.
You will need familiarity with database internals, distributed systems or networking, interest in system programming, exceptional software engineering skills, and relish the opportunity to work on very complex, highly concurrent, highly scalable and resilient systems. You must have a proven track record of success where you demonstrated end to end ownership of architecture, design, implementation, monitoring, testing, and product support on large mission critical systems at petabyte scale.
Areas where you may be working on include logging/recovery, distributed lock management, replication, high availability, compression, cache management, encryption, scale out, monitoring, and serviceability. We work in a fast paced, highly collaborative, agile environment. We are a hybrid team that values end to end service ownership, from conception to architecture, design to implementation, testing to deployment to customer engagement and service.

- Experience building a high-performance large-scale database platform.
About griddable.io
Griddable.io is a San Jose, CA based SaaS startup that closed Series A funding in 2017 from August Capital, Artiman Ventures, and Carsten Thoma, founding CEO of Hybris (acquired by SAP).
The griddable.io concept was conceived by Rajeev Bharadhwaj, a serial entrepreneur with a vision to create a globally synchronized enterprise. He made a key decision to build-on vs. replace traditional databases and develop a new approach for synchronous data integration.
After identifying the Databus open source project at LinkedIn as a foundational technology, he recruited Chavdar Botev, the primary architect of Databus, and Burton Hipp, who co-founded a prior startup with Rajeev. Together they created the first griddable.io product, proved the technology at design partners, and recruited Robin Purohit as CEO, a software industry veteran known to the team from VERITAS and HP.
