Our engineering team doesn't "maintain" systems-level code, we build it. It's invigorating to work on a codebase that's fresh, clean, and well-structured. As a small team, everyone is comfortable with any part of MemSQL.

Requirements:
2+ years of systems-level experience
C/C++ mastery
Experience with developing scalable and highly available database systems
Ability to understand, develop, and implement advanced data structures and algorithms
Built high-performance distributed networked server systems that run cross-platform
Data is expanding so fast that existing databases can't keep up, and when your modern application connects to a decades-old technology, it's pretty easy to isolate the bottleneck.

Our engineers relish those kinds of challenges and enjoy the autonomy to solve them.

Our Culture
Working here is a lot like being back in college, but this time with the wisdom to have janitorial on-site and a finer appreciation for good coffee, healthier snacks, and beer that doesn't suck.

Everyone has the trust to do what needs to be done, and the autonomy to get it done. We're early birds and night owls, athletes and musicians, and all together we're a team that just clicks.

We believe it's important to build community, so we host "Open Door Wednesdays" when engineers from other Y Combinator startups and companies in the area meet up and work alongside each other.

The Data Loft
With 18 foot ceilings, views of Twin Peaks, and warm cherry wood floors, you could say we don't believe in cubicles.

Based in San Francisco in the SOMA neighborhood, our office is close to many restaurants, bars, and coffee shops. And, we're the only company in the building with access to the roof. Each day we cater lunches and dinners and stock all the Naked juice you could drink.

Our company mascot, Grizzly, also makes an appearance from time to time at the office
