About the Role

Optimizing databases is a challenging task—PostgreSQL alone has over 350 configuration parameters, making it difficult for even seasoned engineers to identify optimal settings. Have you envisioned a database that self-optimizes continuously in the background, allowing you to concentrate on developing outstanding products?

At times, query performance may degrade unexpectedly. Envision a system that can proactively identify performance issues, analyze root causes, and automatically refine your queries and indexes, generating pull requests with the precise optimizations required.

Cast AI is in search of a talented Senior Software Engineer with a passion for databases and a desire to delve into the underlying technologies that drive them. Your understanding of implementation specifics around transactions, wire protocols, WAL, indexes, query planning, and other core database functionalities will empower you to create a product that automates traditionally intricate and manual processes.
