Full job description

Yugabyte is the company behind YugabyteDB, the AI-ready, multi-modal, distributed PostgreSQL database for cloud-native apps. Trusted by industry leaders including Shopify, Paramount+, GM, Kroger, Fiserv, and NPCI, YugabyteDB has been deployed in over 100 countries and powers more than 5 million clusters worldwide.

Together, our hard-working team of experts and our industry-leading technology are uniquely positioned to meet the demands of modern workloads: geo-distributed, ultra-resilient, and built to scale without limits.

Our Yugabeings (distributed, like our database) span 12+ countries and multiple time zones, sharing expertise from diverse backgrounds and industries.

About Yugabyte

Reimagining PostgreSQL for a Cloud-Native World — that’s the mission of Yugabyte. YugabyteDB is a PostgreSQL-compatible distributed database purpose-built for modern, cloud-native applications. It’s designed from the ground up to be resilient, scalable, and flexible. As large enterprises modernize and born-in-the-cloud companies build disruptive solutions, many turn to PostgreSQL as their database of choice—and YugabyteDB quickly becomes their preferred distributed Postgres of choice. There’s nothing more rewarding than hearing a customer say they experienced an availability zone or region outage, yet their database stayed fully available with YugabyteDB.
