Descripción del empleo

Overview

At Tiger Data, formerly Timescale, we empower developers and businesses with the fastest PostgreSQL platform designed for transactional, analytical, and agentic workloads. Trusted globally by thousands of organizations, Tiger accelerates real-time insights, drives intelligent applications, and powers critical infrastructure at scale. As a globally distributed, remote-first team committed to direct communication, accountability, and collaborative excellence, we're shaping the future of data infrastructure, built for speed, flexibility, and simplicity.

Our Connectors team sits at the center of that growth. Connectors are integrations and data pipelines to handle data getting in and out of TigerData. We make it easy for developers and enterprises to ingest and export data from TimescaleDB using the tools they already love.

This is a full-time position, with a preference for candidates located in Europe.

What you will be responsible for in this role:

• Ownership of features and services from inception through deployment and ongoing production support

• Design, develop, and maintain Golang-based services, with a strong emphasis on enabling business software solutions.

• Focus on building, maintaining, and optimizing the Connectors platform that help developers and enterprises ingest/export to/from TigerData more easily

• Developing new integrations with third-party APIs, tools, and platforms that expand the capabilities of our Connectors platform.

• Driving improvements to developer experience and reducing adoption friction for our customers.

• Collaborating cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, and Developer Experience to scope and deliver high-impact features.

You could be a great fit if:

• 5+ years of software engineering experience in production environments.

• Strong programming skills, particularly in Go, with a focus on solid software engineering fundamentals.

• Proficiency in event-driven architecture and modern API technologies such as gRPC and GraphQL.

• Detail-oriented and a strong commitment to testing and quality assurance.

• Comfortable developing in Linux environments and working with containerized applications.

Nice to haves

• Experience with 3rd party integrations is a plus.

• Experience with TimescaleDB or PostgreSQL in production

• Cloud provider expertise (AWS, Azure; both a plus)

• Experience with self-hosted Kubernetes clusters (not only EKS/AKS/GKE)

• Previous work on database-as-a-service or large-scale distributed systems

Our Commitment:

• We respond to every applicant.

• We review applications fairly and objectively, and shortlist based on relevant skills and experience.

• We ensure clear and timely communication throughout your candidate journey.

• We maintain a rigorous interview process with a high bar, designed to give you the opportunity to meet various team members you'll collaborate with across our organization.
