Job Overview:

We’re a driven R&D team building the best database in the world for data warehousing: We innovate in all areas of the software stack, from operating systems through to user interface and everything in between. Our technology is elastic and horizontally scalable and supports business critical operations. It runs both on-premises and in the cloud.

We have an amazing opportunity for a recently graduated Software Developer to join our software development team, working in areas such as query execution, performance optimization, cluster management, security and debugging of issues encountered in the field. You'll have the opportunity to work in all areas of our software stack which includes almost every aspect of computer science - from hardware to operating systems and user interfaces and everything in between.

If this job is for you, you love computer architecture, data structures, massively parallel algorithms, multicore programming, and performance analysis and optimization. You have a flair for debugging the hardest issues around concurrency, and relish using AI to explore and master a large complex code base. Starting your career, you’re keen to be surrounded by distinguished experts in the field of database development to learn from, yet keen to bring new perspectives and introduce new technology that can make a difference. You’re used to co-working with AI assistants for development and debugging, yet curious enough to question and learn from what they do. Perhaps most importantly, you love to get things done, ship product, help customers, and see it solving business problems that benefit thousands of users around the world.

We’re based on Trafalgar Square in the heart of London, and you’ll be expected to work from the office four days a week. We have great benefits, flexible vacations and a fun and inclusive office culture.

Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, test data warehouse microservices
• Help troubleshoot and fix issues encountered in the field
