Job description
At Yugabyte, we are on a mission to become the default transactional database for the cloud. We are well underway on this journey with YugabyteDB, the open source, high-performance, distributed SQL database that runs on any cloud and enables developers to get instantly productive using well-known APIs. We are looking for talented and driven people to join us on our ambitious mission and help us build a lasting and impactful company.
We announced a $188M Series C round at a $1.3B valuation in October 2021, however we very much believe we are still in the early stages of our company's journey. The transactional database market is estimated to grow from $40B in 2021 to $64B by 2025. Given our database is cloud-native by design, has on-demand horizontal scalability, and allows for geographical distribution of data using built-in replication, we are extremely well-positioned to address the market need for geo-distributed, high-scale, high-performance wordloads.

Modern applications need a cloud-native database that eliminates tradeoffs and silos. Yugabyte DB is the 100% open source, secure, resilient, scalable, and fully PostgreSQL compatible solution! The world's leading enterprises are making the switch from legacy RDBMSs like Oracle, SQL Server, and DB2 to YugabyteDB for their mission-critical applications.
In this role, you'll have the unique opportunity to work alongside Yugabyte's co-founders, who are pioneers in distributed data systems, helping Facebook scale to billions of users by designing and building breakthrough technologies like Apache HBase and Apache Cassandra. This isn't just our history; it's the foundation upon which we're building the future...with your help.
