Join the Incremental Compute Revolution

Feldera is redefining how engineers compute over changing data. Powered by an award-winning breakthrough in database theory, our platform incrementally maintains even the most complex SQL views -- joins, aggregates, unions, even recursion -- as data changes. The result? Real-time insights over both live and historical data, with 10x lower cost and 100x faster time-to-value.

This isn’t faster batch compute -- it’s a fundamentally new model of computation.

We’re now growing the team that brings this breakthrough to production for our customers.

As a Cloud Software Engineer, you’ll focus on our secure, scalable, production-grade self-hosted platform -- one that customers deploy on their own infrastructure, from laptops to multi-node clusters.

What You’ll Do

• Build and operate the core infrastructure that powers Feldera in customer environments

• Harden our Kubernetes-based deployment model for enterprise-grade reliability and security

• Own tooling for pipeline lifecycle management, system orchestration, and diagnostics

• Design interfaces (CLI, APIs, Helm charts) that make Feldera easy to deploy and scale

• Work with compiler, engine, and connector teams to bridge product features into usable deployments

• Collaborate directly with customers to help them succeed, and rapidly iterate on improvements based on real-world feedback

Requirements

• Fluency in Rust

• Deep experience with Kubernetes, Docker, and Helm

• Hands-on experience deploying cloud-native systems (AWS, GCP, or similar)

• Ability to design and debug distributed systems in production settings

• Strong understanding of system reliability, observability, and secure deployment practices

• Comfort working across CLI, API, infrastructure-as-code, and backend layers

• Willingness to work closely with customers, understand their needs, and help evolve the product based on what you learn

• Willingness to take ownership and drive projects from concept to production, with a bias for action and accountability.

Bonus Points

• Prior experience building enterprise-grade, self-hosted or BYOC software

• Familiarity with SQL engines, databases, and incremental compute frameworks

• Contributions to open source projects, especially in cloud or infrastructure domains

• Experience with air-gapped, regulated, or high-compliance environments

Why Feldera

• World-class team: Feldera was founded by systems researchers and engineers with PhDs in databases, distributed systems, operating systems, and programming languages. We've spent our careers building foundational infrastructure—and now we’re doing it again for the data analytics paradigm of the future.

• Breakthrough tech: Every day at Feldera is a chance to work on hard, high-leverage problems at the frontier of systems and data. We broke a 50-year-old barrier in database research. This isn’t yesteryear's tech going faster —it’s a fundamentally new compute model.

• Early team: Help shape the architecture, design, and direction of a category-defining platform -- at the stage where every decision matters.

If you're excited to work on foundational infrastructure, ship to enterprises, and do the best work of your career -- come build with us!
