Senior Software Engineer Key-Value Engine

The Key-Value Engine is the component at the center of the Couchbase universe. It is responsible for storing and managing data, delivering low latency ops at high scale, supporting intra and cross-cluster replication for high availability and replicating documents to downstream clients. 

You’ll be part of a team of high caliber individuals focused on improving performance and scale as you help us push back boundaries: such as a more flexible and powerful protocol, higher-performance caching, richer data structures, more scalable infrastructure and distributed transactions. You’ll work in C++ (and sometimes C), and from time-to-time read Golang, Erlang, and Python. You’ll work on problems that build on your knowledge of concurrency, networking and your software engineering skills to extract maximum performance from the hardware and kernel.

What Will You Do?

• With your team, you’ll help build the world’s fastest, most scalable, richly-functional key-value engine.
• Discuss and debate with your peers and Product Management as you determine key requirements and the architectural approach to get things built.
• Collaborate with Technical Support to help debug and resolve high-priority customer issues.
• Design and implement needle-mover features with simplicity, elegance and economy.
• Think quality and leverage. Develop high-quality software with unit, component, and end-to-end automation tests.

About You

• BS or MS in Computer Science or equivalent experience in an associated field.
• You’re a self-motivated, independent, and high-performance person. You learn quickly and you enjoy worthy challenges.
• You have very strong C++ skills and enjoy leveraging this powerful language to build high-performance, maintainable software systems. 
• You have 4+ years of experience writing production-quality C++ code.
• You’re an excellent communicator: specific, thoughtful and clear.
• You are a humble, emotionally intelligent person and a great teammate to collaborate with.
• You can balance producing elegant, efficient, high-quality code with a pragmatic approach that ensures timely delivery.

OPENING:*

At Couchbase, big things happen. Every day, we’re translating vision into reality by tackling new and exciting challenges head-on. Here at Couchbase you’ll have the opportunity to learn new skills, grow your career, and work with the smartest, most passionate people in the industry.

With your passion to learn about the cloud, you are excited to help advance the Cloud Native management interfaces of an already Cloud Native Database platform.  You will be part of the team that helps set the direction and define the interfaces and components necessary to advance what it means to be a cloud native database platform. Your curiosity of the Cloud Native ecosystem will help bring Couchbase to everywhere it can add value.  Your ability to represent Couchbase’s interests in Open Source Cloud Native projects, engaging those communities as a knowledgeable expert, will further not only your company’s value, but also the value of that ecosystem. You will also be an advocate for Cloud Native tech to other subject matter experts in Couchbase Engineering. In doing so, you and Couchbase will continue to gather users, deployments and customers in the constantly growing database market.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Implement Management Features

• Working with a team of subject matter experts and the product managers, implement a set of features integrating Couchbase with Cloud Native tech. Some of these exist already, and some have prototypes.  These include Prometheus, Fluentd and Fluent-bit, the Kubernetes Pod Autoscaler, etc.
• Be a bridge to other parts of the Engineering organization where product features interleave and depend upon each other. Keep track of delivery dates for dependent projects; partner with Quality Engineering in organizing interdependent project plans.

Support Across Lifecycle

• Contribute to and write tutorials on integration with Cloud Native ecosystem components such as Fluentd, Prometheus, Open Telemetry.
• Be an advocate to, and support Sales Engineers and Professional Services field organizations in understanding and bringing this tech to end users.
• Facilitate efficient development by the entire team through running development processes, ensuring dependent items are in place, adjusting course as needed to further improve efficiency of producing.

Partner to Product and Engineering

• Work with Product Managers, Architects and Principal Engineers in the definition and development of new features.  In particular, become a subject matter expert for the Product Management team on where the opportunities and challenges are in the Cloud Native ecosystem.
• Work across engineering teams, in some cases as a contributor or reviewer on projects and components outside your team, to help adoption of Cloud Native techniques and interfaces. 

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Motivated, self-learning where needed, and highly productive individual, ready to learn new technologies and become quickly proficient.
• 4+ years of Experience with software development and build automation processes (Jenkins, Github Actions)
• Expertise with Golang, Python, Docker, Kubernetes and the related ecosystems.
• Knowledge of deployment processes in the cloud (Cloud Formation, Terraform, ARM Templates, GCP Cloud Deployment Scripts)
• Experience working with a team distributed across time zones. 

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:

• Desire to automate the boring stuff
• Proficient in one or more programming languages
• Passion for learning new technologies
• Demonstrable experience with Kubernetes
• Presence on GitHub (or similar)
• Strong Unix/Linux administration skills
