ABOUT THE ROLE
In this position we are looking for a jack-of-all-trades database driver and ecosystems engineer, who would love to work together with the FLOSS community and our core team to support it on drivers and adapters for CrateDB, a distributed time-series database. You will be working directly with some of our founding engineers, mostly on projects managed on public GitHub. We need your help to develop and maintain drivers and adapters for CrateDB, and also contribute to 3rd party applications and frameworks to improve their integration capabilities with CrateDB, very close to other open source software projects like SQLAlchemy, pandas, Dask, Apache Kafka, Flink, Superset, Airflow and Grafana, just to name a few. You see that we are looking for someone who lives and breathes open source.
