The Autoscaling Team is responsible for the compute infrastructure used for running Neon databases. Our work ranges from scheduling compute loads in a large cluster, providing a secure and flexible runtime infrastructure for the database processes to adapting the database containers to the requirements of the varying compute load.
We use Kubernetes, Docker, QEMU, Grafana, Github and much more to do our job. It requires deep knowledge of Linux concepts and systems. Most software the team produces is written in go.

Neon is building open-source cloud-native PostgreSQL. Our architecture separates storage from compute, allowing for stateless and serverless Postgres. We’re a well funded startup with deep knowledge of Postgres internals and decades of experience building databases. We are a systems company; we work on low-level code with strict performance and correctness requirements.
Neon was created by a team of Postgres hackers and led by CEO Nikita Shamgunov (co-founder of SingleStore). Neon is built on open-source principles and is focused on giving back to the Postgres and developer communities.
We are a distributed team of 130+ people working from 25+ countries (concentrating around North America and Europe time zones)
We are a team built on open sources cultural principles (transparency, contribution, accountability, proactivity)
Team with decades of experience building databases and deep knowledge of Postgres internals. We are deeply technical
