Come and join us at Redis, where our success and diverse global culture make us the ideal choice for your next career move. When you join us, you’ll begin a new and exciting career journey on which you’ll enjoy professional success, learn valuable new skills, and make lifelong friends.

Why Redis?

Data is the lifeline of every business, and Redis helps organizations reimagine how fast they can process, analyze, make predictions, and take action on the data they generate. Redis provides a competitive edge to more than 8,000 global businesses with Redis Enterprise. We have major strategic partnerships with cloud vendors Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud.

We are looking for a Software Engineer to join the Open source Redis team as part of the Core Platforms group.

Joining the Redis Open Source team means taking on the challenge of creating and improving one of the world's fastest and most highly-regarded NoSQL databases

The Redis open-source team is very unique. The team works on both open-source and Redis enterprise products, improving both.

As Redis is the core of the product, anything we do has a huge impact on other teams and their activity.

Besides working with the open-source community, you will also collaborate with internal stakeholders. This challenge is for those who enjoy technology in general, and especially performance, open source, and finding elegant solutions to complex problems.

If you’re all that, fun to work with, and want to make an impact while contributing to a wildly successful unicorn, then this is the right challenge for you.

What Will You Do

• Develop the next generation of the Redis database on both open source and proprietary forks as part of Redis’ Cluster products and solutions.
• Own and lead Redis features end-to-end, from design through development and deployment.
• Debug, maintain, and improve the Redis infrastructure, enhancing its features and its performance.
• Work closely with team members, Product, DevOps, Support, Customer Success, and other R&D teams.

What Will You Need

• Detailed-oriented and highly motivated engineer, capable of working independently
• 5 or more years of development experience working on a production-grade system and/or high-performance product.
• Two or more years of hands-on C development experience, preferably on Linux.
• Experience working on networking applications, mainly implementing server apps.
• Self-directed, ambitious, and eager to learn new things. Passionate about technology and always learning about new tech.

Extra Great

• Experience with NoSQL databases (especially Redis).
• Experience developing for popular OSS projects.
• Experience developing async IO networking applications.
• Experience working on distributed applications.
