Senior Database Engineer (Cloud) - PostgreSQL

At Tiger Data, formerly Timescale, we empower developers and businesses with the fastest PostgreSQL platform designed for transactional, analytical, and agentic workloads. Trusted globally by thousands of organizations, Tiger accelerates real-time insights, drives intelligent applications, and powers critical infrastructure at scale.

We're looking for experienced engineers to help us build our Cloud database experience and ensure operational excellence on our database platform. You will work with a close-knit team, handling performance and operational issues on our Platform, as well as designing and developing features that elevate our Cloud database experience.

This is a remote and full-time position in the US and EU.

What you will be responsible for:

• Designing and implementing database-related Cloud features, working across many layers of the stack to ensure a seamless Postgres experience

• Ensuring operational excellence, performance, and observability for our fleet of Postgres/Timescale instances

• Diving deep into complex performance issues faced by our Cloud customers

You’d be a great fit if you have:

• Extensive experience running and orchestrating dynamic stateful Postgres workloads at scale on Kubernetes

• Deep knowledge of Golang, Linux, and Apache (likely meant Apache or Apache Mesos or Apache Kafka—assuming Apache was a typo for Apache Kafka or Apache tools)

• Contributions to the Postgres ecosystem – either core Postgres or open source tooling around it

• Track record of building internal systems, services, and tools for managing Postgres at scale

• Deep experience with analyzing database performance, tuning Postgres parameters, and optimizing Postgres workloads
