Lots of tech companies disrupt. But, many fail when they try to scale. We're different. CockroachDB makes it easier for companies to build and scale apps. This is how and why we're helping some of the most innovative companies on the planet. We tackle problems head-on and focus on solutions that create lasting impact.
Because when our customers win, we all win.
The Role
We are looking for Full-stack Product Engineers to join the CockroachDB Cloud Console team. We welcome engineers with either a frontend or backend orientation who are comfortable contributing across the stack. The Console team is a product development team that builds user interfaces, APIs, and integrations (including Terraform) that simplify how users set up, connect to, manage, and operate their CockroachDB clusters. You'll have opportunities to shape our frontend architecture and public API design, empowering other teams to build and innovate faster. We're looking for team-oriented engineers who are excited about distributed databases, scalable infrastructure, and intuitive user experiences.
You Will
- Work closely with product managers, designers, docs writers, and engineers across teams.
- Expose and showcase CockroachDB's differentiators via a developer and operator friendly set of product surfaces.
- Drive front-end best practices and public API design, making it easier for other teams to contribute to the UI and API in a consistent manner.
- Design, build, and test features that are critical to the success of CockroachDB Cloud.
- Develop in React/Typescript/Go, but if you don't know it, you'll learn while you're here.
- Experiment and leverage modern tools, including AI-powered coding assistants and productivity tools, to streamline your workflow and amplify your impact.
- Participate actively in design and technical discussions, contributing your ideas and expertise.
- Support team culture through mentorship, feedback, and collaboration.
The Expectations
In the first month, you will start to learn about our production systems, software development workflow, and the architecture of CockroachDB Cloud. We believe that it's essential for you to take this time to become familiar with our technology, company, and our culture.
After three months, you'll be a fully-fledged member of the CockroachDB Cloud Console team and be comfortable contributing to projects. You will begin taking more ownership of feature development, negotiating scope and deadlines with Product, and providing feedback on design docs and code.
We want our users to have a phenomenal experience using our product. You play a crucial role in making CockroachDB Cloud a joy to use, and as our team grows, you will have the opportunity to shape the direction of development for CockroachDB Cloud. We also offer technical training and experienced mentorship to help you learn and advance your career into whatever you wish it to be.
You Have
- 4+ years of relevant experience.
- Experience in one or more of the following areas:
- Building intuitive, responsive interfaces with React, Typescript, JavaScript, HTML/CSS.
- Developing scalable, reliable backend APIs, ideally with Go.
- Building and maintaining developer-facing tools such as Terraform providers or command-line interfaces (CLIs).
- Experience delivering value within a rapid, iterative, and data-driven release cycle.
- Strong collaborative and communication skills.
