What SingleStore asks for
From SingleStore's Senior Software Engineer ad, checked 4 Nov 2026.
System software development
At least 5 years of work developing and debugging system-level software using unmanaged languages such as C++ or Rust, with a focus on building reliable and high-performance systems.
Database engine internals
Building core database engine components, including distributed systems algorithms, query optimizers, and features for transactional or analytical workloads.
Low-level debugging
Fixing bugs and improving performance in a C++ environment with unmanaged memory using tools such as GDB and Flame graphs.
Technical leadership
Translating customer needs into software features, taking part in code and design reviews, and providing technical leadership throughout the development process.
Kubernetes and distributed systems
Familiarity with managing distributed systems using Kubernetes and a general understanding of operating systems and database architecture.
The ad asks for a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience, and 5 or more years of experience in system-level software development using unmanaged languages.
How the example answers the ad
Four of the five requirements above, each matched to a line in the example.
System software development
“Architected core storage engine components in C++ to support petabyte-scale data, resulting in a 25% reduction in latency.”
C++ development of storage engine components at petabyte scale covers the system software development and high performance requirements.
Low-level debugging
“Managed deep-memory debugging and performance profiling using GDB and custom flame graphs to resolve critical production regressions.”
Resolving regressions using GDB and flame graphs matches the low level debugging requirement. It names the exact tools and the memory debugging context.
Technical leadership
“Led technical design reviews for new storage features, translating complex client requirements into scalable system designs.”
Translating client requirements and leading design reviews identifies specific tasks listed in the technical leadership requirement.
Kubernetes and distributed systems
“Implemented distributed consensus algorithms across 500+ nodes using Kubernetes and custom orchestration controllers.”
Orchestrating algorithms across 500 nodes with Kubernetes addresses the distributed systems and Kubernetes requirement.
