Staff Software Engineer, Technical Lead, Lakebase Manager (LBM)

The shape of it

In the posting’s own words

Lakebase enables teams to deliver applications faster with an optimized database developer experience, integration with the lakehouse, and simplified operations. It provides a managed Postgres transactional layer for application state and workloads that combine operational data, analytics, and AI. You'll join as one of the key engineers building out the Lakebase product.

What it asks for · 9

• 8+ years designing, building, and operating large-scale distributed systems, including the processes around testing, monitoring, and SLIs/SLOs.
• A track record of technical leadership as an individual contributor: setting architecture and direction for a team's projects through influence, without formal management authority.
• Strong hands-on depth: you still design systems and write production code, and can go deep on architecture for large-scale distributed services.
• Experience operating reliability-critical, highly available services (on-call, incident response, HA/failover).
• Comfortable working toward a multi-year vision with incremental deliverables, and balancing short-term delivery against long-term stability.
• Ability to align multiple stakeholders on competing priorities.
• Motivated by delivering customer value and impact.
• Proficiency in Go, Rust, or a similar systems language; experience with PostgreSQL and Kubernetes is a plus.
• BS (or higher) in Computer Science, or a related field.

• Drive architecture and design, and write code on the hardest parts of your team's projects.
• Set and uphold high technical standards through architecture reviews, testing, and a culture of engineering excellence.
• Raise the technical bar of the team: mentor engineers, drive rigorous design and code review, and grow their distributed-systems and design skills.
• Define SLIs, meet SLOs, and drive long-term reliability improvements across the database lifecycle.
• Lead cross-team initiatives across the Lakebase stack: align with partner teams on dependencies and unblock cross-cutting projects.
• Partner with engineering and product leadership to shape and deliver a long-term technical roadmap.

Degree language
