We are looking for Database Systems Evaluation Expert candidates for a project delivered through the hiring partner.
What you'll do
- Design one challenging, self-contained database engineering task.
- Build checks for correctness, failure handling, concurrency, retries, and regressions where relevant.
- Evaluate performance measures such as latency, throughput, and memory use.
- Write clear grading criteria for engineering judgment.
- Work with technical reviewers to refine and validate the task.
What you need
- At least five years of hands-on database-engine internals experience, or a database-systems PhD.
- Deep experience with storage engines, query execution, optimization, transactions, replication, or related low-latency systems.
- Strong implementation skills and clear explanations of correctness and performance tradeoffs.
- DBA, SQL analytics, ETL, or application-only database experience does not qualify on its own.
- Use a laptop or desktop with a camera, microphone, and entire-screen sharing.
- Have your own editor and terminal ready, along with Python 3.8+ and a compiler for C, C++, Rust, Go, or Java.
- Complete the assessment independently, without outside AI assistance.
Nice to have
