Software Engineer, Frontend - Bangalore , India

Databases are the beating heart of every business in the world.

Cockroach Labs is the team behind CockroachDB, the most highly evolved cloud-native, distributed SQL database on the planet. We created CockroachDB and our self-service, fully managed cloud offerings of CockroachDB (Dedicated and Serverless) to deliver the ability to build and scale apps with fewer obstacles, more freedom, and greater efficiency. Today, Cockroach Labs helps companies of all sizes—and the apps they develop—scale fast, survive disaster, and thrive everywhere. Join us on our mission to make data easy and help developers build what they dream of without having to worry about their database ever again.

About the Role

The Cloud Admin team’s mission is to build the infrastructure that powers CockroachDB Cloud’s operations - everything from internal administrative dashboards, to Billing operations, to Marketplace integrations. The ideal candidate will have experience building web applications using React and Redux or other modern  frontend tech stack. You have a passion for talking to customers, figuring out their real needs, and iterating quickly. Your job is to figure out what solutions  are needed to make running CockroachDB Cloud even more productive, build them, deploy them, introduce them to the team, and then go build the next one. Working closely with our team of Cloud Engineers, you will be part of a collaborative culture striving to make data easy globally by integrating distributed databases and the cloud with a world-class developer experience. 

You Will

• Design, build, test, and improve CockroachDB Cloud. You bring your expertise and commitment to excellence to build the best cloud database service for our users, partners, and customers.
• Develop in React/Typescript and Go, but if you don't know it, you'll learn while you're here.
• Collaborate with engineers, product managers, and designers across our cloud and database teams to design, implement, and deliver features that remove the headaches of database operations for our users.
• Make sure that as our DBaaS rapidly grows it remains scalable, survivable, and consistent.
• Take part in a collaborative culture and exchange knowledge with a highly experienced technical organization.

The Expectations

In the first month, you will become an integrated member on our engineering team. You’ll become familiar with our production systems, software development workflow, and architecture for CockroachDB and our Dedicated and Serverless offerings. We believe that it's essential for you to take this first month to become familiar with our technology and our company.

After 3 months, you'll be a fully-fledged member of the team. You will be comfortable contributing to our platforms. You will begin to determine the parts of our product that most interest you and work with your manager to focus your efforts on projects that align with those areas and the product roadmap.

As our team grows, you will have the opportunity to shape the direction of development for CockroachDB. We want our users to have a phenomenal experience using our product, and you play a crucial role in making it a joy to use.

• A passion for building beautiful, intuitive, and responsive user experiences that help people succeed at their jobs.
• Experience architecting and implementing UI/UX for robust, scalable web applications using technologies like Javascript, Typescript, and React. 
• Experience delivering value within a rapid, iterative, and data-driven release cycle.
