Aerospike is the real-time database for mission-critical use cases and workloads, including machine learning, generative, and agentic AI. Backed by NEA.
About the role
Aerospike is rapidly becoming the core vector and operational database engine powering next-gen AI platforms. We are looking for a sharp, autonomous software engineer to lead the charge in making Aerospike an AI-first database. In this role, you’ll own highly visible open-source projects, pioneer integrations across the AI ecosystem, and write clean, high-performance code that powers mission-critical applications globally.
What they're looking for
- Build AI-First Tooling: Design, architect, and deliver high-impact open-source tools and integrations connecting Aerospike to modern AI/ML frameworks
- Optimize Core Performance: Continuously refine software for extreme scalability, ultra-low latency, and production efficiency
- Collaborate Across the Stack: Work directly with customers, product leaders, and solutions architects to translate complex real-world requirements into production-ready software
- Own the Integration Roadmap: Partner cross-functionally across client and server teams to shape feature sets built explicitly for real-time AI workloads
- 5+ years of hands-on software development experience in Go, Python, Java, Scala, C, or C++
- Systems & Integration Expertise: Proven track record building integrations, API clients, software SDKs, or distributed systems tooling
More about this role
At Aerospike, we built the world’s fastest, most flexible distributed database—scaling effortlessly from gigabytes to petabytes with ultra-low latency and unparalleled efficiency on modern hardware (SSDs, in-memory, and persistent memory tech).
Now, we are pushing the boundaries of real-time AI.
