University Graduate Software Engineer

As a University Graduate Software Engineer, you will work with experienced engineers to design, implement, test, and improve production-quality database software. You will own well-scoped projects, contribute to technical discussions, and develop a strong foundation in systems and database engineering.

Your work may include:

• Developing features for the SingleStore database engine
• Improving query execution, optimization, and runtime performance
• Working on storage engines, indexing, transactions, or data management
• Building reliable distributed-system components
• Investigating and resolving performance, scalability, and correctness issues
• Writing production code, tests, documentation, and technical designs
• Collaborating with engineers, product managers, and cross-functional partners

Projects are delivered through regular release cycles, giving you the opportunity to see your work move from design to production.

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, completed or expected by the start date
• Strong foundation in data structures, algorithms, and software design
• Programming experience in C++ or C
• Understanding of operating systems, concurrency, multithreading, and computer architecture
• Familiarity with Linux or Unix-based systems
• Demonstrated ability to learn quickly and solve complex technical problems
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, * Coursework or project experience in databases, distributed systems, storage systems, compilers, or networking
• Experience with database internals, query processing, indexing, or transaction systems
• Experience debugging or optimizing systems-level software
• Familiarity with performance profiling, memory management, or low-level programming
• Experience contributing to production software or substantial technical projects

What You’ll Gain

• Mentorship from experienced database and systems engineers
• Hands-on experience building software that ships to production
• Exposure to database internals, distributed systems, and large-scale performance engineering
• Opportunities to collaborate across engineering and product teams
• A supportive environment focused on technical growth and meaningful ownership

SingleStore values individuals with diverse skills, experiences, and perspectives and is committed to building inclusive, collaborative teams.

SingleStore is a distributed SQL database that brings transactions and analytics together in one high-performance platform. Our technology helps organizations work with data in real time across cloud and self-managed environments.
