Software Engineer - Backend

Engineering

At Timescale, we empower businesses with real-time insights from their data, allowing them to make faster decisions and optimize operations. We are creating a movement to unblock developers who are building the future. Timescale is a product-led growth organization driven by transparent leaders and a globally diverse, remote-first team that is proudly building a modern PostgreSQL cloud platform.

We are seeking a skilled software engineer to join our team focused on building and maintaining Timescale's billing, pricing, and packaging software solutions. As part of our close-knit, all-remote team, you will have the opportunity to work on critical services that power our managed TimescaleDB cloud offerings.

This is a full-time position, with a preference for candidates in Europe or East Coast North American time zones.

What you will be responsible for:

  • Ownership of features and services from inception through deployment and ongoing production support

  • Design, develop, and maintain Golang-based services, with a strong emphasis on enabling business software solutions.

You could be a great fit if:

  • Have 2+ years of software engineering experience in production environments.

  • Strong programming skills, particularly in Go and Python, with a focus on solid software engineering fundamentals.

  • Experience working on enterprise-level billing, finance, or other business-critical software.

  • Proficiency in event-driven architecture and modern API technologies such as gRPC and GraphQL.

  • Detail-oriented and a strong commitment to testing and quality assurance.

  • Comfortable developing in Linux environments and working with containerized applications.

Nice to haves:

  • Experience deploying and managing applications in Kubernetes environments, including developing Kubernetes operators/controllers.

  • Deep knowledge of at least one major cloud provider, with a preference for AWS.

  • Familiarity with RBAC and ACLs is a plus.

You might not be a great fit if:

  • You are uncomfortable with a fast-paced, dynamic environment where priorities can shift quickly. 

  • You prefer a highly structured role with clearly defined tasks and responsibilities.

  • You are not a self-starter who thrives on taking initiative and ownership.

Our Commitment:

  • We will respond to all applicants

  • We strive to review all applications fairly, without bias, and shortlist based on relevant skills and experience.

  • All active candidates will be informed of what is happening next in the process.
