About SingleStore
SingleStore delivers a real-time, distributed SQL database that unifies transactional and analytical workloads. Our engineers build cloud-native software for some of the world’s most demanding data-intensive applications, working in a fast-moving environment where teams own their work end to end and partner closely across Product and customer-facing organisations.
About the Flow team
SingleStore Flow is an enterprise data migration and integration product that helps customers move data into SingleStore reliably and at scale. The team builds the systems that support schema transfer, bulk data loading, real-time Change Data Capture (CDC), large-table migrations, and a native experience in SingleStore Helios.
Flow spans Java-based engines, source and destination connectors, database internals, performance and memory management, Helios services and APIs, observability, test automation, Flow AI Agent and signed production release delivery. The product works across heterogeneous database environments, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQL Server, MongoDB, SAP HANA, Snowflake, Salesforce, and SingleStore-as-a-source.
Position Overview
We are looking for a Staff Engineer to provide technical leadership for Flow’s end-to-end data path from source systems and CDC through migration engines, APIs, Helios, and the customer experience.
This is a hands-on individual contributor role with broad technical influence. You will own major architectural decisions, lead strategically important and release-defining initiatives, solve complex reliability and data-consistency problems, and help the team build durable systems that customers can trust with their most important migrations. You will remain close to the code while raising the technical bar for design, testing, observability, operational excellence, and AI-assisted engineering.
The ideal candidate is a systems-minded engineer who enjoys working across product boundaries, can move comfortably between architecture and implementation, and knows how to turn difficult customer problems into scalable product improvements.
What you’ll do
-
Set technical direction for significant areas of Flow, including the migration engines, CDC pipeline, schema evolution, large-table migration, source-to-target data correctness, Flow APIs, Helios integration, and agent-assisted migration workflows.
-
Lead the design and delivery of large, complex, release-defining projects from problem definition through production rollout.
-
Make pragmatic architecture and build-versus-defer decisions that balance customer value, reliability, performance, maintainability, and delivery speed.
