turbopuffer is looking for database engineers who want to advance the frontier of search.

what you'll do:

design and implement improvements across one or more layers of our search engine (storage, indexing, querying)
intensive performance hacking: tracing, CPU/heap profiling, optimizing data structures, using SIMD, tuning IO pipelines, etc.
evolve our search primitives and APIs (full text + vector + reranking)
work closely with customers to win their workloads and fold learnings back into the product
write crisp docs

must have:

search internals (e.g., inverted indexes, ANN indexes, rerankers)
storage engines (e.g., LSMs, WALs, MVCC, compaction, GC)
distributed systems (e.g., replication, leases, fault injection, simulation/chaos testing)

nice to have:

multiple years of experience writing Rust
you've maintained or operated serious systems in production, at scale
you've made interesting contributions to the databases, IR, or systems communities (e.g., research, open source, speaking)
additional domain expertise in:

k8s and cloud infra (GKE/EKS/AKS, disks and networking, load balancers, observability)
security (multi-tenant systems, isolation, sandboxing)

values we live by:
