Description
We're looking for a Software Engineer to join our Insights team to help build our customer-facing database observability product. Insights helps developers understand their database performance and provides visibility into query patterns, performance metrics, and database health across both Vitess/MySQL and PostgreSQL systems.
You will instrument Vitess, MySQL, and PostgreSQL to emit performance data, design, implement, and maintain our data collection pipeline, create intuitive dashboards and visualizations that surface actionable database insights, develop APIs and integrations that expose insights data to customers, collaborate with other teams to define the next generation of database observability features, build tools for query analysis, performance profiling, and anomaly detection, and own features end-to-end, from initial design through production deployment and monitoring.
You will partner with customers and support teams to understand real-world observability challenges and work in a self-directed environment. You will also have the opportunity to wear many hats and work on diverse problems across the stack.
As a member of our team, you will be at the core of building the platform that powers world-class apps used by hundreds of millions of users worldwide. PlanetScale is a profitable company with a philosophy centered around building small teams of p99 individuals and is recognized as one of the fastest-growing companies in America.
