PgDog
Scaling engine for PostgreSQL
Founding Software Engineer
About the role
About the role
Postgres is the most popular database and PgDog is building its future. This isn’t an easy task, but it’s exciting and full of opportunities. As our first founding engineer, you will define the company. You’ll be given full autonomy and responsibility to build our products, including 0-to-1 projects. You’ll interact with customers, scope the roadmap, build features and deploy to production.
Technology
PgDog is written in Rust. This choice is intentional because it allows us to write good and performant code, quickly. Our integration tests are written in 7+ languages (and Postgres drivers). You don’t need to know them all (LLMs are here to help), but you need to be comfortable in Rust. If you’re not, you should be willing to learn quickly.
Being an expert in Postgres is beneficial, but not necessarily required. If you’re not familiar with it, you have to be willing to pick up a 1,000 page manual and become one.
Benefits
Health, dental, vision covered. $5k office/laptop/whatever you need budget. Unlimited PTO.
Location
Currently remote in the San Francisco Bay Area. We’ll get an office as we grow. We’ll meet in person regularly for coffee, drinks, food, brainstorming, hiking, etc.
About the interview
- 30min intro call.
- Take home (paid).
- Technical deep dive (1h-3h).
- Offer.
About PgDog
Postgres is the most popular database period, but running it in production is hard. We're building scaling tools, like load balancing and sharding, to make Postgres the one database you'll ever need.
