Our team is intentional in building a daily work environment where mutual respect, equity and positive recognition of differences are cultivated. We seek diverse perspectives in our team meetings and respect honest feedback to help us make effective decisions.

We are looking for experienced engineers who are enthusiastic, empathetic, curious, motivated, reliable, and able to work effectively with a diverse team of peers; someone who will help us amplify the positive and inclusive team culture we’ve been building, while being excited to solve database problems and getting things done.
