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.
The LRT group is responsible for the language layer and relational execution
engine powering YugabyteDB. We care deeply about correctness, performance, and
usability of the system we are building. We are always looking for innovative
solutions to these challenges, be it from other industry applications, academic
research or original contributions, as our team’s work powers a broad range of
components. The team's work areas include query planning and optimization,
consistent online schema changes, as well as a broad set of SQL features
including stored procedures, triggers, geo-partitioned tables, or GIN indexes
for text search.
