InfluxDB 3 Clustered is a robust and scalable self-hosted time series database, designed to handle large-scale deployments. It offers the capability to scale across hundreds or even thousands of servers, allowing organizations to efficiently manage and store massive amounts of data with unlimited cardinality. This enables enterprises to tackle complex and high-velocity data streams, ensuring seamless data processing and analysis. InfluxDB 3 Clustered is deployed in a Kubernetes cluster, providing flexibility for organizations to choose their preferred infrastructure, including bare metal clusters or popular cloud providers.

In this role, you will join a small team of skilled backend engineers, responsible for integrating the core database components, developing new services and features, debugging customers' production issues, and developing tooling to enable our team and others to efficiently support thousands of large scale production deployments. We have a friendly culture that promotes cross-team collaboration, team work, shared learning, and a good work-life balance.

We're a globally distributed, friendly, and cooperative team who thrive on interaction and collaboration while also maintaining a good work-life balance. We meet once a day as a team for a quick catch up. We encourage pairing as needed to get work done. We also meet, via video call, with the entire company a few times per week for minutes to learn about what's going on across the business and share news about upcoming events and activities.

The application window will be open until at least August 9, 2024. This opportunity will remain online based on business needs which may be before or after the specified date.
