About the job
Join Everlaw as a Senior Software Engineer specializing in Database Systems to lead the advancement of our essential data infrastructure. As a dynamic mid-sized SaaS company in a phase of rapid growth, our challenge transcends mere data storage; it encompasses crafting and coding solutions that guarantee data accessibility, high performance at scale, and the capability to support the next generation of AI-driven functionalities.
In this pivotal role, you will serve as a principal contributor and design owner of our databases and storage layer, seamlessly transitioning between low-level performance optimization and high-level system architecture. Your primary focus will be on designing and implementing code for resilient, scalable solutions. You will work closely with a core team of engineers while also mentoring engineers across the broader engineering organization to elevate their database knowledge. Collaboration with a community of senior and staff engineers experienced in search, cloud infrastructure, full-stack SaaS application development, data science, and performance optimization will be an integral part of your role.
Note: We value practical expertise. We seek a software engineer who appreciates the theoretical aspects but thrives on the actual execution of building reliable, high-performance production data systems.
At Everlaw, our engineering teams are central to our mission. We foster a vibrant and open culture while being committed to the professional development of our team members. We offer an annual learning and development stipend along with regular career goal check-ins with managers. If you desire a work environment that cherishes passion, integrity, expansive thinking, and a thirst for knowledge, we would love to hear from you! If you feel you may be lacking some skills, we encourage you to apply anyway—there is no such thing as a 'perfect' candidate.
This is a full-time, exempt position requiring on-site presence three days a week in Oakland, California.
