Job description

Senior Software Engineer, Client (Java + Go)

Remote, USA

At Aerospike, we dream big and deliver even bigger. Our mission is to unleash the power of the world’s real-time data with a database built for infinite scale, speed, and sustainability.

We empower companies to tackle seemingly insurmountable challenges and achieve what’s never been done before. That’s why we developed the world’s leading real-time database—powering mission-critical applications for the most innovative, category-disrupting organizations.

Aerospike enables extreme-scale, real-time applications that:

• Fight fraud in microseconds.
• Drive dramatic increases in shopping cart size.
• Deliver hyper-personalized user experiences to tens of millions.

Industry leaders like Airtel, Experian, Nielsen, PayPal, Snap, Verizon Media, and Wayfair trust Aerospike as the foundation for their future. They rely on us to act in the moments that matter.

Headquartered in Mountain View, California, with offices in London, Bangalore, and Tel Aviv, Aerospike is the uncontested leader in next-generation, always-on, hyperscale data solutions. Unlike legacy NoSQL systems, our patented Hybrid Memory Architecture unlocks today’s hardware to deliver unimaginable performance and value for the most demanding data workloads—from the edge, to the core, to the cloud.

At Aerospike, we’re pushing the boundaries of what modern data infrastructure can achieve. Our distributed NoSQL database is engineered for extreme speed, ultra-low latency, and seamless scalability — powering the core systems of some of the largest enterprises in the world. Built for the latest innovations in storage and memory technologies (including Intel’s Optane), our platform scales effortlessly from Gigabytes to Petabytes.

Your Impact

We’re looking for a seasoned engineer to help shape the future of Aerospike’s high-performance Smart Client Libraries.

This role is perfect for someone who thrives on solving low-latency, high-concurrency problems and wants to own code that sits at the heart of distributed systems powering everything from finance to telco to ad tech.

What You’ll Do

Design, implement, and maintain Smart Client Libraries in Java and Go

Collaborate with product, architecture, and customer teams to translate complex requirements into elegant, performant code

Optimize performance, reliability, and scalability of the end-to-end client-server communication stack

Contribute to documentation that helps other engineers thrive and build on your work
