Location: Remote (Europe, USA, Canada)

Our mission: At Xata we’re on a mission to radically simplify the way developers work with data using our Postgres database platform.

What we’re building at Xata: We’re building a database platform for companies that rely on Postgre
SQL at scale—optimizing for developer experience, high performance, and flexibility. We provide staging, developer branches with data, data anonymization, privacy, zero‑downtime schema changes, and more. The AI wave of developer tools presents exciting opportunities, and Postgre
SQL and Xata are well‑positioned to be at its center.

In this role, you will:

• Work closely with other engineering teams to build services that are highly scalable and observable.
• Set up infrastructure and configuration as code using Kubernetes, Pulumi (Go) and Terraform.
• Implement automation tools and frameworks for CI/CD.
• Set up and maintain observability and monitoring stack, as well as deployment pipelines.
• Share the on‑call rotation—shared between SRE and backend teams.
• Share your experience at conferences or blog posts if interested.

You will have:

• Hands‑on cloud infrastructure experience on public cloud platforms, preferably AWS.
• Experience with Kubernetes, preferably using operators and running Postgres in Kubernetes.
• Experience with infrastructure as code.
• Hands‑on experience coding in Python, Go or Type
  Script with a focus on clean, maintainable code.
• Experience with observability tools and incident management.

Nice to haves:

• Deep experience with operating database products at scale.

Working at Xata:

• We’re stable—raised $35M and have years of runway.
• Remote‑first culture with a worldwide team, mainly in Europe and the East Coast of the USA.
• Culture of innovation, autonomy, and impact.
• Asynchronous workflow; weekly check‑ins; tools: Git
  Hub, Notion, Slack.
• Community‑driven; focus on user success.
• Team diversity—over 40% women; female‑founded with an all‑female board.
• Conference meet‑ups incentivised.

What we offer all of our employees:

• Competitive salary and stock options.
• Inclusive, diverse work environment.
• 30 vacation days (plus local public holidays).
• 2 months full paid parental leave.
• Home office budget and coworking stipend.
• Continuous learning budgets for conferences, courses, books.
• Two company offsites per year—families welcome.
