We’re building a cutting-edge database team, and need researchers and engineers to join the group. But that’s not all. We’re looking for someone with a visionary eye for the future of technology and a relentless drive for innovation.

Responsibilities

• Perform systems research and empirical science on current and future data management and processing systems.
• Analyse and understand requirements for the next generation of database storage and query processing engines.
• Design, implement, and deploy key technical building blocks for the next generation of data management and processing systems.
• Explore and advance the latest data management and processing frameworks for both Cloud and devices.

 
Requirements

• Be proficient in one or more system-level programming languages (C/C++, Rust, Java, Go, etc.).
• Be proficient in one or more of the following areas: transactional and/or analytical database management systems, query processing and optimisation, storage engines, indexing engines, concurrent/parallel algorithms and data structures, distributed computing, parallel programming frameworks, benchmarking and performance analysis, graph theory and graph algorithm design, programming/query languages, computer architecture, vectorised processing, operating systems, compilers, fault-tolerant systems (especially transactional systems), and hardware-software co-design.
• Have excellent communications skills in English and ambition to deliver outstanding results.
• Have participated in the implementation of (aspects of) a database management system or systems of a similar low-level nature (e.g., operating systems, distributed workflow systems, compilers).
• Have published papers at top peer-reviewed conferences or journals in fields related to the above (desired but not essential).
