Staff Software Engineer
Job description
Lakebase is a new category of database: fully managed, serverless Postgres for the AI-powered lakehouse . Reliability isn’t a feature here—it is the product.
Platform Reliability: Hunt outages before they happen. Own scalability decisions for 10x growth. Work across the entire Lakebase org to make our service bulletproof. Our goal? Run Lakebase on Lakebase.
Operational Tools: Build the systems that engineers and support teams reach for at 2am—observability, customer management, compliance monitoring, maintenance APIs, and the safety guardrails that let teams ship fast without breaking things. Go, Java/Scala, TypeScript, Kubernetes, and more.
Both are cross-organizational roles with high autonomy, real ownership, and plenty of ambiguity. If you thrive on complexity and want impact you can measure in uptime, this might be for you.
We're looking for experienced engineers with distributed systems backgrounds who've built and operated critical systems (including being on-call for them). Generalists who can navigate competing priorities and balance short-term delivery with long-term stability will do well here.
