We are seeking a highly skilled individual contributor (IC) with background knowledge on Database and QA to join the Database Performance and Reliability Team. In this role, you will be working closely on the InfluxDB Enterprise 3 product and be instrumental in ensuring the reliability, correctness, stability and high performance of our core database platform across complex data models and workloads.

Responsibilities

  • Own and execute automated reliability, regression, and correctness test workflows within the CI/CD pipeline.
  • Implement and maintain repeatable test contracts utilizing frameworks like internal tools to validate query accuracy, product lifecycle, database compactions, and recoverability.
  • Differentiate between standard functional validation and exhaustive reliability testing—simulating real-world customer workloads, database restarts, memory exhaustion, and deployments.
  • Collaborate closely with core developers to convert high-level engineering specifications and customer root-cause analyses into formal, repeatable test constraints.
  • Investigate complex performance data variations, capture system profiles, and proactively identify architectural bottlenecks before production deployment.
  • Be part of an on-call rotation when need arises.
  • Develop and Review automated reports on a regular cadence to flag suspicious query latency regressions, data divergence bugs, or resource starvation issues to relevant engineering stakeholders.
