Software Engineer - II

At Yugabyte, we are on a mission to become the default transactional database for enterprises building cloud-native applications. YugabyteDB is our PostgreSQL-compatible distributed database for cloud-native apps. Resilient, scalable, and flexible, it runs on any cloud and enables developers to become instantly productive using well-known APIs.We are looking for talented and driven people to join us on our ambitious mission and help us build a lasting and impactful company.The transactional database market is estimated to grow to $64B by 2025. YugabyteDB is cloud-native by design, has on-demand horizontal scalability, and supports geographical distribution of data using built-in replication. This means that we are well-positioned to meet market demand for geo-distributed, high-scale, high-performance workloads.

Join the Database Revolution at Yugabyte.

Modern applications need a cloud-native database that eliminates tradeoffs and silos. YugabyteDB retains the power and familiarity of PostgreSQL by pairing its trusted API with a precision-engineered, distributed, cloud-native architecture. Even better, it’s 100% open source. Many of the world's leading enterprises are migrating from legacy RDBMSs (like Oracle, SQL Server, and DB2) to YugabyteDB, to meet their mission-critical app demands.

Role Overview

The Ecosystem team at Yugabyte is responsible for building, maintaining and strengthening the ecosystem around YugabyteDB - integrations with other tools/frameworks, ensuring compatibility, enabling third-party partners, developing connectors, driving community adoption, and helping Yugabyte fit seamlessly into the broader data / cloud / AI stack.

You will work across internal product, engineering, documentation, and partner teams to make sure Yugabyte is well supported in the ecosystem, that customers and partners have high-quality integrations, and that Yugabyte can be plugged into many use cases with minimal friction.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop, maintain, and test integrations/connectors between YugabyteDB and popular data ecosystem tools (e.g. ORM frameworks, Spark, Presto, Kafka, etc.).

• Ensure compatibility with client-side APIs, drivers (JDBC, Python, Go, Rust, C#, etc.), ORMs, data pipelines, and analytic tools.

• Stay updated with the evolving AI ecosystem (LLMs, frameworks like LangChain, LlamaIndex, etc.) for integration opportunities.

• Evaluate ecosystem requirements and gaps: identify which integrations would add most value to customers and partners.

• Collaborate with the product & engineering teams to specify integration requirements, define interfaces/APIs, and ensure that the product supports ecosystem use cases.

• Partner with partner teams, community, and external developers to enable partner use-cases, build partner / third-party contributions.

• Own end-to-end quality of integrations: functional correctness, performance, deployment, configuration, and documentation.

• Write sample applications, SDKs, reference architectures, and demonstrations to show how to use Yugabyte with other technologies.

• Contribute to, or own documentation / best practices / how-to guides related to integrations and ecosystem use cases.

• Monitor and keep abreast of relevant big-data / cloud / data tools trends, new platforms, and emerging technologies; propose ecosystem enhancements.

Skills & Qualifications

Required

• Strong programming skills in one or more languages like C, C++, Java, Python, Go, Rust, C#, etc.

• Deep understanding of distributed database concepts (sharding, replication, consistency, scaling).

• Experience with building connectors/integrations between databases and other systems (analytics tools, ORMs, caching, message brokers, etc.).

• Familiarity with client driver protocols/APIs (JDBC, REST, gRPC, etc.).

• Understanding of AI concepts like vector search, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)

• Experience working in Linux / Unix environments; comfortable with command-line, debugging, etc.

• Good software engineering fundamentals: testing, performance, reliability, version compatibility.

• Strong communication skills, ability to collaborate across teams (product, engineering, documentation, partners).

Nice to Have

• Hands-on experience with big data tools like Apache Spark, Presto, Flink, Kafka.

• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and containerization / Kubernetes.

• Experience with ORMs, frameworks (SpringData, Hibernate, Django, etc.).

• Experience with LLM integration and AI orchestration frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, or similar).

• Prior open source contributions or experience engaging with the community.

• Experience building sample integrations / reference architectures.

Pluses / Distinguishing Points

• Ability to proactively spot ecosystem gaps and propose solution / proof-of-concept.

• Experience working with partner / ISV / cloud provider programs.
