Job Overview

We’re forming a new Specialized Indexing subteam within SQL Queries to expand CockroachDB’s indexing capabilities beyond traditional relational workloads.

  4. Develop hybrid search capabilities that combine vector similarity and text-based search for modern AI and search workloads.

  5. Passion for databases, indexing systems, and high-performance distributed architectures.

  6. A strong background in backend or systems programming, preferably with Go, C/C++, or Rust.

  7. Experience working on indexing or query execution systems such as vector, text, or spatial search.
