Job description
As a Go Database Engineer, you'll be working on the core of InfluxDB, an open source time series database written in Go. As part of the core database team, you'll be on the forefront of development with Go, helping us solve problems in high-performance, distributed computing. To do this, you'll take point on key pieces of the database and learn the ins and outs of distributed systems. You'll also share your knowledge and collaborate with the team.

Ideally, you'll have strong experience with Go or fluency with a similar language (Java, C, C++, etc) plus some experience with Go.

We're looking for candidates who value continually mastering the craft of coding and building tools that benefit the open source development community. You'll need to be open to experimenting, which means that you'll also need persistence. You'll also be working closely with your team, so you'll need to be empathic, supportive, and self-aware.
