• Service Mesh Excellence: High proficiency with Istio (VirtualServices, mTLS, sidecar injection) and API Gateways (specifically Kong).
• Infrastructure as Code: Expert-level Terraform skills, specifically using an Atlantis/GitOps workflow across a massive, multi-hundred-file estate.
• Secrets & Identity: Experience managing enterprise-grade identity and secrets (Auth0, Dex, ESO, or SOPS).
• Data/ML Tooling: Experience operating Airflow in production and an ML-serving stack (e.g., Triton, vLLM, MLflow).
• Database Management: Comfortable managing Cloud SQL (PostgreSQL), BigQuery, and in-cluster datastores like Elasticsearch or ClickHouse.
• At least an upper-intermediate level of spoken and written English.

It would be great if you also had:

• ML Observability: Past experience with continuous monitoring of model accuracy and detecting data/concept drift.
• Automation Savvy: Experience with Ansible for cluster bootstrap and recovery.

• Modern Stack Exposure: Familiarity with Loki, Grafana, or managing ClickHouse at scale.

We are launching a strategic pool of AI specialists to accelerate the growth of our AI Practice and turn strong market demand into scalable, repeatable capabilities. This role goes beyond project delivery-it is about shaping how AI is built, shared, and scaled across the company.

As part of this group, you will play a key role in internal capability development, with a strong focus on designing and evolving AI Accelerators-reusable frameworks, templates, and reference architectures covering GenAI, LLM-based solutions, ML pipelines, and cloud-native AI systems. These accelerators will become the backbone of our AI offerings, enabling faster delivery, higher quality, and consistent technical standards across projects.

A second core dimension of the role is knowledge leadership. Strategic hires will actively contribute to internal knowledge-sharing initiatives: technical deep dives, hands-on workshops, demos, and best-practice sessions covering topics such as GenAI orchestration, RAG, model deployment, prompt and system design, observability, and cost-efficient AI architectures. You will help raise the overall AI maturity of the organization while mentoring engineers and influencing technical direction. In addition, members of this group will act as AI project jumpstarters, joining new client engagements for up to 50% allocation over 1-2 months. In this capacity, you will help define solution architectures, validate technical approaches, build initial prototypes, and set strong engineering foundations before teams scale.

About the role

Databases are notoriously hard to optimize—with 350+ configuration parameters in PostgreSQL alone, even experienced engineers struggle to find the right settings. Have you ever dreamed about a database that continuously self-optimizes itself in the background, so you can focus on what really matters: building great products?

Sometimes your queries slow down and it's not immediately clear why. Imagine a system that proactively detects performance degradation, analyzes the root cause, and automatically improves your queries and indexes for you—creating pull requests with the exact optimizations needed.

CAST AI is seeking a skilled senior software engineer with expertise in databases and interest in understanding the underlying technology that makes them work. Knowledge of implementation details around transactions, wire protocols, WAL, indexes, query planning, and other fundamental database features will enable you to build a product that automates what's traditionally been manual and complex.

You'll work on a greenfield project with high impact, creating intelligent systems that make database optimization effortless for our customers.

This is a location-specific opportunity. We are currently accepting applications from candidates residing in the following European countries: Bulgaria, Croatia, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Ukraine.

Requirements:

• Experience working with and troubleshooting PostgreSQL and/or MySQL in production environments
• Experience troubleshooting database-related issues in one of your previous roles—whether as a DBA, backend engineer, SRE, or any position where you've debugged slow queries, optimized indexes, or resolved production database problems
• Strong programming skills in Go and/or C++
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to troubleshoot complex issues in a production environment
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively within a team
• Startup mindset: adaptable, proactive, and comfortable with ambiguity
• A proactive, problem-solving mindset with a "yes we can" attitude

Here are some of the tools we use daily:

• Mostly Golang with C++ in the most critical data pathways
• Extending Envoy with custom network filters
• ClickHouse and PostgreSQL for business metrics
• GRPC and REST APIs
• GitLab CI with ArgoCD as our GitOps CD engine
• Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, and Tempo for observability
• Deployment charts are written in Helm.

Responsibilities:

• Design, build, and operate database optimization services in Go and C++.
• Develop features for query analysis, index recommendations, and automated performance tuning that deliver measurable database cost savings.
• Extend and maintain integrations with PostgreSQL and MySQL protocols, cloud database services (RDS, Cloud SQL, Azure Database).
• Implement query parsing, plan analysis, and recommendation algorithms that identify optimization opportunities.
• Develop monitoring and alerting systems for database performance metrics, connection health, and cost tracking.
• Shape public and internal APIs with an eye for simplicity and developer experience.
• Participate in design reviews, code reviews, and occasional customer deep‑dives.

What’s in it for you?

• Competitive salary (€6,500 - €9,000 gross, depending on the level of experience)
• Enjoy a flexible, remote-first global environment.
• Collaborate with a global team of cloud experts and innovators, passionate about pushing the boundaries of Kubernetes technology.
• Equity options.
