SingleStore
About this role
This SingleStore role sits on the cloud platform side rather than the database engine, and the main focus named in the posting is the billing systems, along with networking, control plane and managed service infrastructure. That is less glamorous than query optimisation and considerably more consequential when it breaks: you would be investigating and fixing billing data synchronisation issues and contributing to data visualisation dashboards alongside the larger platform work. The posting frames it as end to end ownership of large, release defining projects, with mentoring expected while staying hands on. The stated requirement is 6+ years in Golang or a similar language for system level work. As with SingleStore's other engineering posts, the final level (Senior, Staff or Principal) is decided during the interview rather than fixed by the title.
Who this is for
Required by the posting: 6+ years of experience developing and debugging system level software in Golang or a similar language. Familiarity with distributed systems managed via Kubernetes. Demonstrated ability to design and build highly reliable, high performance system software. Experience working in environments where performance, scalability and reliability are critical. A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.
Preferred qualifications: experience building cloud native SaaS platforms, experience with frontend web frameworks like React, and background with cloud based metering and billing plus generally accepted accounting practices. That last one is unusual and tells you how central the billing system is to this particular seat.
The real day to day: leading technical design and decision making for large, release defining projects on the cloud platform; designing and implementing capabilities across networking, control plane and managed service infrastructure with the main focus on billing systems; solving mission critical system problems; working with Product Management to turn customer and business requirements into technical solutions; investigating and resolving difficult production and development issues; debugging billing data synchronisation problems; contributing to data visualisation dashboards; and mentoring engineers on system design, coding standards and architecture.
Levelling, stated in the posting: open across multiple levels, with final levelling as Senior, Staff or Principal determined during the interview process.
Location and working pattern: listed as India. Unlike SingleStore's other India requisitions this one carries no office tag on the board, so confirm the working location with the recruiter before you commit.
Honest fit guidance: read the billing emphasis carefully rather than skimming past it. Metering and billing is real distributed systems work with correctness requirements most services never face, but if you are hoping for database internals this is not that job. The mentoring expectation is stated as raising the technical bar across the team, not as managing people, so it remains an individual contributor role.
