  • Build observability telemetry into client-side language drivers (e.g. JDBC) and connection pools 

  • Lead development of greenfield tooling for the Postgres ecosystem from the ground up

What You’ll Do:

  • Design and drive high-priority, high-visibility projects like the ones described above

  • Provide technical leadership to the Database Monitoring team and peer teams

  • Be a driving force in growing the product’s adoption by 10X

  • Define enduring architectures to support a rapidly growing team and user base

Who You Are:

  • You have strong familiarity with Postgres internals

  • You have contributed directly to Postgres in the past and/or have substantial contributions to tooling in the relational database ecosystem

  • You are excited about the opportunity to work with customers directly, understand their workflows, and build industry-leading experiences for them

  • You have led impactful technical initiatives in an environment where performance, cost efficiency, ease of use, and resilience/operability are first-order concerns
