SingleStoreDB (formerly MemSQL) (https://singlestore.com) | India | Full Time | Remote

SingleStoreDB is a database focused on high performance and hybrid workloads (HTAP). Our customers include half of the top 10 US banks, 2 of the top 3 US telcos, and 12% of the Fortune 100.

Our product is a distributed, relational database that handles both transactions and real-time analytics at scale. Querying is done through standard SQL drivers and syntax, leveraging a broad ecosystem of drivers and applications.

We have been building SingleStore since 2011, and building a database-as-a-service product involves a bunch of interesting technical challenges such as: * Compilers and code generation

* Distributed computing and fault tolerance

* UI and User Experience

* Integrations with connectors and third-party tools (e.g., Business Intelligence tools like Tableau)

* Infrastructure that scales to dozens of thousands of database clusters across GCP, Azure and AWS

We have several positions open:

* Site Reliability Engineer (Remote — India)

* Senior Software Engineer, Database Engine (Remote — India)

* Senior Software Engineer, Managed Service (Remote — India)

Can you tell me a bit more about interview procedure? I have seen a lot of reviews on the internet that the whole process is 6+ rounds.

Those reports are simply not accurate! :)

Typically, for my team, the interview process is always under 2-3 weeks. The longest I've seen across all teams would be up to 1 month. The only times I've seen the process take a bit longer is when we have rare issues with matching candidate availability with interviewer availability.

For a typical position, you're looking at maybe 4-5 1-hour phone calls with different engineers and then maybe a 30-40 minutes call with the engineering manager for the respective team.
