We’re looking for programmers that have experience in Rust, and some exposure columnar database internals. We’re adding to our team building InfluxDB 3.0, the future open source foundation of InfluxDB. InfluxDB 3.0 is a fast, columnar, time series database backed by object storage, written from the ground up in Rust, using Apache Arrow, Arrow Flight, and DataFusion. We’re looking for people to work on the core database as well as other subsystems. This role is focused on our InfluxDB 3 OSS and Pro (single server) products.
Our team is 100% remote now and in the future. Being part of an on-call rotation is a requirement of this role. You’ll get the opportunity to contribute core features to our database as well as our operational systems.
The application window will be open until at least October 4, 2024. This opportunity will remain online based on business needs which may be before or after the specified date.
