Job description

We are seeking a highly skilled PostgreSQL and Kubernetes Specialist to design, implement, and maintain the EDB Postgres Distributed (PGD) Operator on a multi-master distributed PostgreSQL solution that provides high availability, geographic distribution, and active-active replication for enterprise workloads.

As a member of the team, you will work directly on PGD operator's architecture design, development, testing, and documentation of new and existing capabilities with EDB's quality standards.

What you'll be doing:

  • Design, develop, test, and document Kubernetes operators to manage PGD clusters in public, private, and hybrid cloud environments
  • Analyze business requirements and translate them into executable tasks
  • Provide world-class production support to EDB's PGD customers on K8s
  • Participate in code reviews and collaborate with a globally distributed team

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in a software engineering position
  • Strong proficiency with Kubernetes Operators development in Go language (controller-runtime)
  • Strong proficiency with Kubernetes API programming (event-driven)
  • Experience with PostgreSQL internals (storage engine, WAL, replication, catalog system, or extension development)
  • Understanding of distributed systems concepts: replication topologies, consensus, conflict resolution, eventual consistency, and failure modes
  • Experience working on multi-version/multi-branch codebases with active backporting workflows
  • Familiarity with build systems and CI/CD practices
  • Comfort working with Git on a large, long-lived codebase with complex branching
  • Strong debugging and performance analysis skills

What will set you apart:

  • Prior contributions to Cloud Native PG or other Open-Source projects in the Cloud Native operator's landscape
  • Advanced experience with Kubernetes administration, preferably with relevant certifications from CNCF such as Certified Kubernetes Administrator and Certified Kubernetes Security
  • Expertise with PostgreSQL administration
  • Experience with vendor-supported container orchestration platforms, both public (such as EKS, AKS and GKE) and private (such as Red Hat OpenShift, Rancher, or Tanzu)
  • Experience with logical replication, logical decoding, or custom replication solutions
  • Experience with high availability architectures and failover mechanisms
