Zusammenfassung

Lever, Inc. is seeking a Software Engineer/C Developer (PGD) for a fully remote position listed in the Netherlands, focusing on a high-availability distributed PostgreSQL solution.

The role spans architecture, software development, testing, and production support within a globally distributed team. You will design and evolve multi-master PostgreSQL capabilities, tackle replication and consistency challenges, and contribute to a large codebase with modern CI/CD practices.

Qualifikationen

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience.
• Strong proficiency in C programming and production-quality systems software.
• Practical experience with PostgreSQL internals (storage, WAL, replication, catalog, or extensions).
• Solid understanding of distributed systems concepts: replication topologies, consensus, eventual consistency, and failure modes.
• Experience managing large, long-lived codebases with multi-branch backporting workflows.
• Familiarity with modern build systems and CI/CD practices.
• Strong Git skills and experience with complex branching.
• Excellent debugging, troubleshooting, and performance analysis capabilities.
• Effective written and verbal communication for a globally distributed team.
• Prior contributions to PostgreSQL or open-source DB projects are a plus.
• Experience with logical replication/decoding or custom replication is advantageous.
• Knowledge of Raft or distributed consensus is a plus.
• Familiarity with PostgreSQL extension APIs and hook system is beneficial.
• Experience with high-availability architectures and failover mechanisms is an advantage.
• Experience with Python and/or Rust is a plus.
• Experience with major cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP is beneficial.
• Familiarity with Ansible, Docker, and Kubernetes is an advantage.

Aufgaben

• Design, develop, test, and document new capabilities for a multi-master distributed PostgreSQL product.
• Contribute to architecture and technical design decisions for distributed database functionality.
• Maintain, enhance, and optimize existing capabilities to improve performance, reliability, usability, and scalability.
• Analyze business and technical requirements and translate them into clearly defined, executable engineering tasks.
• Investigate complex software and database issues and provide high-quality production support to enterprise customers.
• Diagnose performance and reliability problems using systematic debugging and analysis techniques.
• Participate in code reviews and provide constructive feedback to maintain strong engineering standards.
• Collaborate with engineers and stakeholders across a globally distributed development organization.
• Work effectively with multi-version and multi-branch codebases, including active backporting and release workflows.
• Contribute to build, testing, CI/CD, and software delivery processes.
• Help maintain high standards for technical documentation, testing, maintainability, and production readiness.
