InfluxData is the creator of InfluxDB, the leading time series platform used to collect, store, and analyze all time series data at any scale. Developers can query and analyze their time-stamped data in real-time to discover, interpret, and share new insights to gain a competitive edge. InfluxData is a remote-first company with a globally distributed workforce.

We're looking for programmers that have experience in Rust, and also some exposure to distributed systems or columnar databases (the internals). We're adding to our team building InfluxDB 3.0, the future open source foundation of InfluxDB. InfluxDB 3.0 is a fast, columnar, distributed, time series database backed by object storage, written from the ground up in Rust, using Apache Arrow, Arrow Flight, and DataFusion. We're looking for people to work on the core database as well as the management plane for our Cloud/SaaS product. This role is more focused on the distributed system. The management plane will control and coordinate a fleet of InfluxDB 3.0 servers within Kubernetes environments. It will run the big three cloud service providers, or in a customer's data center.
Our team is 100% remote now and in the future. Being part of an on-call rotation is a requirement of this role. Youll get the opportunity to contribute core features to our database as well as our operational systems for our range of 3.0 backed products. It will need to work across all three public clouds or in a customer's data center.
If you're interested in working on the future core of InfluxDB's open source database or in building a scalable, elastic operational layer for it on top of Kubernetes, please apply.
