Go Senior Software Engineer (Remote)

We are seeking a talented and dynamic full-time remote Golang Software Engineer to help us build an Open Source K8s Database Operator. The work is challenging, but that’s why it’s also fun and rewarding! You and your work will significantly impact the Kubernetes ecosystem. This is a unique opportunity to work from home in a great team, on a 100% open source project!

Ideally, we would love to find a Software Engineer who has in-depth knowledge of distributed databases or Kubernetes.

Time zone: this is a remote work-from-home position. However, the team median is UTC +2, so we will favor +/—3 hours from there.

What You Will Do

• Collaborate with a geographically distributed team to design and implement new features for Kubernetes DBs operators.
• Participate in code reviews to ensure high-quality software.
• Work closely with a product manager, QA team, and community contributors to shape Operator’s roadmap and prioritize features that bring the most outstanding value.
• Build robust and resilient database solutions focusing on ensuring data integrity, fault tolerance, and high availability across distributed systems.
• Contribute to upstream projects we leverage to bring our solutions to the community.
• Serve as a mentor to junior developers, guiding best practices in software design, coding, testing, and debugging, particularly in large-scale distributed database systems.
• Blog, present, and evangelize our software to help increase adoption and keep our thriving community growing
• Engage with other departments in Percona to ensure we’re delivering value-driven solutions.

What You Have Done

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field or equivalent experience
• Minimum 3 years of experience in Go development and object-oriented design with a strong understanding of SOLID, KISS, and DRY principles
• DBs (preferable) or K8s strong experience
• Experience with k8s operators (nice to have)
• Experience with Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery tools such as Jenkins, CircleCI, and Travis
• Experience with high concurrency threading models, atomics, and locking primitives
• Knowledge of various programming and scripting languages such as BASH, Perl, and Python

What Will Make You Stand Out

• Development experience in DBaaS solutions
• Development expertise in k8s operators
• If you have deep knowledge of any of these DB: MySQL, MongoDB or PostgreSQL
• Experience in Linux systems administration, including suitable expertise with file systems, hardware, and networking
