Principal Software Engineer, Database Infrastructure at GitHub

This position is no longer accepting applications. The listing is kept for reference.

About the role

US only. The databases under GitHub: hundreds of terabytes, and an average of more than 20 million queries a second across the fleet.

MySQL depth is the core requirement, and much of the output is self-service infrastructure other engineers use rather than one-off fixes. Highly distributed team, asynchronous by default, with an on-call rotation.
