Software Engineer - Redis Server

Who we are
We’re Redis. We built the product that runs the fast apps our world runs on. (If you checked the weather, used your credit card, or looked at your flight status online today, you’re welcome.) At Redis, you’ll work with the fastest, simplest technology in the business—whether you’re building it, telling its story, or selling it to our 10,000+ worldwide customers. We’re creating a faster world with simpler experiences. You in?

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

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

The Redis Server team is very unique. The team works on both Redis Community Edition 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 community, you will also collaborate with internal stakeholders. This challenge is for those who enjoy technology in general, and especially performance, community 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 community and proprietary forks as part of Redis’ Cluster products and solutions.
Take part in the challenge of developing Redis Over Flash device (ROF).
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.

We give back to our employees:

Our culture is what makes Redis a fun and rewarding place to work. To support you at work and beyond, we offer all our team members fantastic benefits and perks:

Competitive compensation package formed by salary and equity grants
25 days of flexible vacation time
Home internet & phone monthly allowance
One-time home-office setup allowance
Lunch and snacks in the office
