About the role

- 0-2 years of professional software engineering experience, or equivalent project or internship work
- Solid fundamentals in at least one of TypeScript, Ruby, or Go
- Comfortable building with AI coding tools and LLM APIs. This role is AI-enabled work, not just AI-assisted
- Comfort writing scripts, small services, or automations that solve a real problem
- Clear written communication
- Already based in the San Francisco Bay Area. We do not relocate for this role
More about this role
PlanetScale is growing rapidly and reinventing the database space. The PlanetScale platform offers both PostgreSQL and Vitess clusters. Vitess is an open-source database clustering system for horizontal scaling of MySQL that enables businesses to efficiently handle large-scale data workloads — without sacrificing developer experience. We're bringing the same scaling power to PostgreSQL with Neki, our sharded PostgreSQL product.
