At Aerospike, we dream big and deliver even bigger. Our mission is to unleash the power of the world’s real-time data with a database built for infinite scale, speed, and sustainability.

We empower companies to tackle seemingly insurmountable challenges and achieve what’s never been done before. That’s why we developed the world’s leading real-time database—powering mission-critical applications for the most innovative, category-disrupting organizations.

Aerospike enables extreme-scale, real-time applications that:

  • Fight fraud in microseconds.
  • Drive dramatic increases in shopping cart size.
  • Power global digital payments.
  • Deliver hyper-personalized user experiences to tens of millions.

Industry leaders like Airtel, Experian, Nielsen, PayPal, Snap, Verizon Media, and Wayfair trust Aerospike as the foundation for their future. They rely on us to act in the moments that matter.

Headquartered in Mountain View, California, with offices in London, Bangalore, and Tel Aviv, Aerospike is the uncontested leader in next-generation, always-on, hyperscale data solutions. Unlike legacy NoSQL systems, our patented Hybrid Memory Architecture unlocks today’s hardware to deliver unimaginable performance and value for the most demanding data workloads—from the edge, to the core, to the cloud.

If you're ready to shape the future of data, join us.

We’re growing fast and investing deeply in our Cloud Platform—a multi-cloud, multi-tenant platform that brings the power of Aerospike to customers with maximum simplicity, speed, and scale.

We’re looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join our Cloud team and play a key role in designing and building the next generation of our platform services. Your work will directly shape the way global enterprises deploy, manage, and scale Aerospike in the cloud—and will help push the boundaries of what real-time, always-on systems can achieve.

What You'll Do:

  • Drive real impact. You’ll build core backend systems that are foundational to our multi-cloud SaaS platform—helping customers deploy and manage high-performance, globally distributed applications with ease.
  • Collaborate deeply. You’ll work closely with product managers, architects, QA, and other developers to move fast on a strategic roadmap that reflects real-world customer needs.
  • Build for scale. From optimizing performance to designing for multi-tenancy and auto-scaling, you’ll write production-grade code that’s secure, maintainable, and blazing fast.
  • Elevate quality. You’ll champion code quality and test coverage, raise the bar for engineering standards, and help us build systems that just work—even under extreme load.
  • Innovate boldly. At Aerospike, we value curiosity, courage, and creativity. You’ll bring new ideas to the table, prototype rapidly, and be empowered to experiment and lead with technology.

    Responsibilities

    • Communicate regularly with stakeholders, project managers, quality assurance teams, and other developers regarding progress on a long-term technology roadmap
    • Produce quality code, raising the bar for team performance and speed
    • Write code and tests, build prototypes, resolve issues, and profile and analyze bottlenecks
    • Optimize backend services for performance and scalability
    • Develop automated unit and integration tests to ensure business needs are met.

    Required skills and qualifications

    • At least 5 years of relevant experience
    • Excellent foundation in computer science and algorithms
    • Experience in developing distributed, multi-tenant, auto-scalable backend services
    • Proficient knowledge of one or more statically typed back-end programming languages (Go, Kotlin, Java, Scala) 
    • Experience with at least one of the major public cloud providers: AWS, Google, Azure
    • Experience with NoSQL and relational databases and database fundamentals, including data storage, data replication, data modeling, and data access patterns
    • Experience with developing, deploying, and maintaining distributed services with containers (Docker) & orchestration (Kubernetes, EKS, GKE)
    • Experience with Git and CI/CD pipeline engines
    • Technical knowledge and understanding of techniques and standards for authentication, authorization, and encryption 

    Preferred skills and qualifications

    • Proficient in Go
    • Experience with NoSQL database development
    • Experience with Terraform, Ansible, and other DevOps technologies
    • Experience with the Kubernetes Operator pattern
