About the Role
The Migrations team owns the full suite of MOLT (Migrate Off Legacy Technology) tooling. We're looking for a staff software engineer to help build out the Migration Assistant, expand the capabilities of the MOLT toolkit, and to drive innovation around how AI can be leveraged to further reduce friction during the migration process. You'll report to Eric Alton, who leads the Migrations and Observability teams, and work closely with other engineers, SREs, and our product and design teams.
Responsibilities
- Build and extend CockroachDB's migration tooling, including the Migration Assistant, to make migrating to CockroachDB effortless.
- Apply AI to real migration problems in a way that ensures security of customer data and correctness of the migration workflow.
- Help expand the capabilities of MOLT's Convert, Fetch, Replicator, and Verify tools into a single, cohesive migration experience.
- Develop primarily in Go (we'll teach you if you don't know it) alongside engineers and PMs across the cloud and database teams.
- Take part in a collaborative, technically rigorous culture, and help shape engineering practices on a growing team.
Requirements
- A passion for complex technical products, and exposure to topics like distributed systems, data replication, concurrency control, file systems, or SQL processing.
- Comfort with Go, C/C++, Java, or Python.
- A strong grasp of system design for high-throughput data systems.
- Experience with one or more database technologies (e.g. MySQL, Postgres, Oracle, SQL Server, Db2).
- Experience and interest in designing and building systems and tools that leverage AI.
- Good judgement about where AI should be integrated into a system and where traditional approaches are preferable.
- A track record of strong collaboration and technical leadership; you enjoy collaborative brainstorming, design and code review, and pairing with teammates on hard problems.
- 7+ years of relevant experience (preferred).
- A BS in Computer Science or equivalent experience.
