[Hiring] Software Engineer @SingleStore

Role Description

The Software Engineer (Cloud Foundations) will work on core product systems using Kubernetes, Go, and Python. This role emphasizes end-to-end ownership, from concept to observability, across the stack. We use Terraform for repeatable, safe, infrastructure-as-code installations, including our bring-your-own-cloud (BYOC) offering. The ideal candidate values deep troubleshooting and holistic system ownership.

• You will contribute reviewed code, pair with experienced engineers, and have a dedicated mentor.
• Interns do not hold the production pager nor are on-call.
• Early weeks are for onboarding; mid-term involves owning a concrete ticket/mini-project; and by the end, a demo or résumé write-up is expected.
• The role involves hands-on use of industry-standard tools, containers, Kubernetes, Terraform IaC, and CI/CD with guardrails.
• You will practice debugging beyond local environments.
• Optional stretch work on areas like async jobs, ingress, or orchestration is available with senior engineers.

Qualifications

• Pursuing a B.S. (or equivalent) in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline, or demonstrable equivalent depth from projects and coursework.
• Solid computer science fundamentals (data structures, algorithms, and how programs fail in the real world).
• Strong programming skills in at least one of Go, Python, C++, or Rust, with willingness to work primarily in Go and Python on our codebase.
• Comfortable with Git and a basic Linux command line.
• Interest in puzzle-style debugging (for example: why did this workload restart?) without needing every answer on day one.

Requirements

• Coursework or projects touching operating systems, networking, concurrency, or distributed systems at a high level.
• Exposure to Docker or containers, or hands-on use of a cloud provider free tier or class account.
• High-level intuition for how the internet works (HTTP, DNS in broad strokes).
• Any Terraform, Pulumi, or other IaC experience in a course, club, or personal project.
• Familiarity with Kubernetes or Helm (even if shallow); we will teach depth and our control vs data plane layout on the job.
• Interest in end-to-end ownership: describing how you would validate a change from laptop to cluster.

Benefits

• Hands-on experience within small, collaborative Platform and Infrastructure teams.
• Projects aligned with actual shipping processes.
• Exposure to Cloud Provisioning and Operations.
• Learning opportunities in Observability Practices.
• Stretch opportunities with mentorship from senior engineers.
