About the Role
We’re looking for a Software Engineer to join our Turso core database team and help bring forward the future of agentic databases. Turso is both an Open Source database that replaces SQLite—with an ongoing project to also support the Postgres interface—and a Cloud offering where users can create databases on demand. You’ll work closely with customers and other teams at Supabase to build the future of what databases look like in a world where users and agents are creating millions of databases a day.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives in async, fast-paced environments and is excited about building database technology tools that scale to billions.
What You’ll Be Responsible For
Driving the progress of the Turso Open Source database, in particular the Postgres compatibility layer.
Making sure code works, and never breaks, and putting the systems and guarantees in place for that to happen.
Maintaining the Turso Cloud operations, including the Cloud API and data plane operations.
Improving the scalability of the Turso Cloud operations to support a 100x larger number of databases
You Might Be a Good Fit If You
Have written databases before, and/or other high-stakes low-level systems like Hypervisors, OS Kernels, storage devices, etc.
Have experience working with remote teams and Open Source communities.
Have a passion and experience for correct systems that work, and have the experience in the tools to make that happen: Deterministic Simulation Testing, formal verification methods, fuzz and differential testing, etc.
Have experience deploying, operating and debugging large scale software systems in production in cloud environments such as AWS & Kubernetes
Have experience improving the observability, reliability and performance of complex cloud systems.
Are comfortable working in Rust.
Are comfortable with LLM-assisted development and evals.
