[Hiring] Senior Software Engineer @SingleStore-LinkedIn

Role Description

SingleStore engineers build the real-time data platform powering some of the world’s most demanding applications. Our cloud-native architecture enables high-performance transactional and analytical workloads at scale, and our teams ship production code continuously throughout the year.

We operate in a fast-moving, highly collaborative environment where engineers own their work end-to-end and partner closely across Product, Sales, and Go-To-Market teams to deliver meaningful business impact.

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join the Helios team and play a critical role in designing and delivering core capabilities for SingleStore’s cloud-managed service. This is a senior technical leadership role with end-to-end ownership of large, release-defining projects at the intersection of distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and database technology.

The focus of this role is on cloud-based metering and billing for all Helios products and features. You will be responsible for building and maintaining the bookkeeping system and integrations that powers millions in cloud revenue with extreme attention to detail.

As a Software Engineer, you will set technical direction, solve complex system-level problems, and act as a force multiplier across the organization. You will work closely with Product and customer-facing teams to ensure our platform meets the needs of both long-standing enterprise customers and new adopters.

This role is ideal for an engineer who thrives on deep technical challenges, takes pride in building durable systems, and enjoys mentoring others while remaining hands-on.

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.
