Position Summary

SingleStore engineers build the real-time data platform that enables some of the world's most demanding applications. Our cloud-native database architecture enables high-performance transactional and analytical workloads at scale.

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Managed Service (Helios) team, you will build and own release-defining projects at the intersection of distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, networking, and database technology. Helios runs thousands of SingleStore clusters across AWS, Azure, and GCP — autonomously deployed, scaled, secured, and healed on top of Kubernetes — operating at the frontier of multi-cloud, multi-region, multi-tenant, low-latency, always-on systems. You will work across the control plane, the data plane, the operator, networking, storage, and the customer portal, with true end-to-end ownership.

Note: This role is open across multiple levels. Final leveling (Senior, Staff, or Principal) will be determined based on experience, scope of impact, and demonstrated technical leadership throughout the interview process.
