(Remote) Technical Analyst

Category-defining tech. Lots of tech companies disrupt. CockroachDB makes it easier for companies to build and scale apps. This is how and why we're helping some of the most innovative companies on the planet. Because when our customers win, we all win.

At Cockroach Labs, we strive to deliver a delightful experience to our customers starting from their first interaction with our database. The Migrations team owns the full suite of MOLT (Migrate Off Legacy Technology) tooling that enables customers to seamlessly move their workloads from external databases to CockroachDB. We are looking for a senior software engineer to join this team during a pivotal moment: the team's charter is expanding to leverage AI to radically simplify the migrations journey and to unify all of the MOLT tooling into a single, cohesive experience.

In this role, you will shape one of the first touchpoints new customers have with CockroachDB, giving you a front-row seat to our rapid growth. You will contribute to both the core migration tooling and new AI-powered capabilities that will transform how customers migrate to CockroachDB.

Contribute to the growth of CockroachDB by building database migration tooling and AI-powered migration capabilities that make it easy for everyone to migrate to CockroachDB.

Help drive the team's expanded charter to apply agentic AI to the migrations journey — from experimentation and prototyping through to production-grade systems.

Contribute to unifying all MOLT tooling into a single, cohesive AI-powered migration experience for customers.

Develop in Go using agentic coding tools, but if you don't know Go, you'll learn while you're here.

Work closely with other engineers, product managers, and field engineering.

Take part in a collaborative culture and exchange knowledge with a highly experienced technical organization.

Learn about the different challenges of database migrations and create innovative solutions, including AI-driven approaches, to help achieve our goal of making migrations easier.

In the first month you will join your engineering team and start to learn about our production systems, software development workflow, the architecture of CockroachDB, and how our users interact with our offerings. We believe that it's essential for you to take this first month to become familiar with our technology, company, and our culture.

You will begin to determine pain points of the customer migration experience and work with your manager to focus your efforts on projects that align with those areas and our goals, including exploring how AI can be applied to improve the migration journey.

As the team grows, you will have the opportunity to shape the direction of development of the migration tooling for CockroachDB, including defining how AI transforms the migration experience and helping unify the MOLT tooling into a seamless product. We also offer technical training and experienced mentorship to help you learn and grow.
