GritDB engine research engineer (junior)

What you will do

• Research and implement assigned features of the GritDB engine and ship them in the product
• For each bug, write a reproduction test first, document the root cause, then fix it
• Add end-to-end and unit tests, and solve problems that benchmarks such as TPC-H reveal

Who we are looking for

• You have developed or done research in C++ or C for 3 years or more (systems research in a master's or PhD program counts)
• You have solid fundamentals in operating systems, concurrency, data structures and algorithms
• You have debugged multithreaded code with tools such as gdb and perf
• You design experiments and write up the results

Nice to have

• Experience contributing patches or reviews to the engine internals of an open-source RDBMS such as PostgreSQL
• Experience researching or developing engine internals of a commercial RDBMS, such as storage, execution, transactions and recovery
