Mission
lakeFS is an open source project that brings Git-like version control to data lakes, enabling data teams to branch, commit, and merge petabytes of data safely and efficiently. We simplify the lives of engineers building data-intensive applications and help them move faster, with confidence.
We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer with a strong backend foundation and frontend experience to help us build powerful, reliable tools used by engineering teams worldwide.
What you'll do
BUILD OUR PRODUCT
- Design and develop robust backend services that power lakeFS, written primarily in Go.
- Contribute to our React-based UI to deliver intuitive and reliable user experiences.
- Work across our stack: cloud-native infrastructure (Kubernetes, Terraform, ArgoCD), data engineering plugins and SDKs (Scala, Python, Java), and performance-critical components such as Graveler.
- Ensure our product remains reliable, scalable, and secure in production, handling billions of daily API calls across multiple clouds.
BUILD OUR TEAM
- Collaborate closely with teammates in a distributed, remote environment.
- Contribute ideas and feedback to shape product direction based on customer and community input.
- Help foster a culture of trust, ownership, and continuous learning.
What we're looking for
- 7+ years of experience in backend development, preferably building distributed or cloud-native systems.
- Proficiency in Go (preferred) or similar backend languages (Java, Python, etc.).
- Familiarity with modern frontend development, specifically React.
- Strong grasp of data structures, system design, and software architecture principles.
- Experience working in remote teams and excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Passion for open source, data infrastructure, and empowering engineers.
- A BSc/MSc in Computer Science (or similar) - A plus
