Aerospike is rapidly becoming the core vector and operational database engine powering next-gen AI platforms. We are looking for a sharp, autonomous software engineer to lead the charge in making Aerospike an AI-first database. In this role, you'll own highly visible open-source projects, pioneer integrations across the AI ecosystem, and write clean, high-performance code that powers mission-critical applications globally.
What You'll Do- Build AI-First Tooling: Design, architect, and deliver high-impact open-source tools and integrations connecting Aerospike to modern AI/ML frameworks.
- Optimize Core Performance: Continuously refine software for extreme scalability, ultra-low latency, and production efficiency.
- Collaborate Across the Stack: Work directly with customers, product leaders, and solutions architects to translate complex real-world requirements into production-ready software.
- Own the Integration Roadmap: Partner cross-functionally across client and server teams to shape feature sets built explicitly for real-time AI workloads.
What You Bring- 5+ years of hands-on software development experience in Go, Python, Java, Scala, C, or C++.
- Systems & Integration Expertise: Proven track record building integrations, API clients, software SDKs, or distributed systems tooling.
- Production Engineering Focus: Strong grasp of modern software architecture, container environments (Kubernetes, Docker), and building resilient, automated software.
- Self-Driven Ownership: High autonomy, strong initiative, and a passion for engineering excellence with minimal supervision.
Bonus Points- Hands-on experience with NoSQL, vector databases, or active contributions to open-source communities.
