Aerospike
About Aerospike At Aerospike, we dream big. Our focus is helping companies tackle seemingly insurmountable problems and doing what's never been done before. That is why we developed the world's leading real-time data platform that powers mission-critical applications at the world's most innovative, category-disrupting companies. Aerospike customers have deployed extreme-scale real-time applications to fight fraud, dramatically increase shopping cart size, enable global digital payments, and deliver hyper-personalized user experiences to tens of millions of customers. Customers like Airtel, Experian, Nielsen, PayPal, Snap, Verizon Media, and Wayfair rely on Aerospike as the data foundation for the future to help them act in the microsecond moments that matter. Headquartered in Mountain View, California, Aerospike has a global presence with offices in London, Bangalore, and Tel Aviv. The Opportunity We build the front door to Aerospike: the software developers and operators use to explore the platform, build on it, and run it in production. Our bet is that the next generation of database interaction is built for humans and AI agents alike, pairing the reliability of a deterministic system with agentic intelligence (a visual workspace, an MCP server your coding agent connects to, a CLI, and more). These experiences run on the Voyager desktop app today and will increasingly be incorporated into Aerospike Cloud, our multi-cloud, multi-tenant platform. This is greenfield work with direct customer and revenue impact: helping prospects evaluate Aerospike in hours instead of weeks, helping customers expand it to more teams and use cases, and giving developers and operators confidence in systems where correctness, performance, and reliability matter.
Design, build, and own features end to end across our developer and operator tooling. Architect and maintain a scalable frontend and the reusable component library shared across the Voyager desktop app and the Aerospike Cloud Console, keeping it responsive against clusters holding billions of records. Build for the desktop reality: cross-platform behavior on macOS, Windows, and Linux, embedded web views, and automated packaging, signing, and distribution so releases stay fast and low-friction. Integrate LLM-powered and agentic capabilities into the product, from the in-app assistant to the embedded MCP server and tool integrations. Turn high-fidelity designs and ambiguous greenfield problems into accessible, performant interfaces, working closely with design, product, and QA. Set a high bar for code quality and engineering practices, and keep stakeholders across product, design, and QA aligned on progress and tradeoffs. How You Operate We move fast and give engineers real latitude. Ideas get tried, not queued, and the people closest to a problem are trusted to make the call. Own the outcome and ship. You own outcomes, not tickets, and you make high-quality decisions quickly. You favor reversible decisions, fix forward instead of waiting for perfect, and do not block on permission when the path is clear. When you hit a barrier, you surface options and a recommendation rather than stopping at the problem, and you route around obstacles independently. Simplify relentlessly. You are building something that has not been built before. You invent the patterns, then strip out steps: automate the manual, delete the unnecessary, and find the simplest design that delivers the outcome. Build for the developer and operator. Our tools are many developers' first impression of Aerospike, and increasingly what operators rely on to run it. You obsess over their experience, fight for time-to-productivity measured in minutes, and weigh every decision by what it does for the person using the tool. Required Skills and Qualifications 5+ years building web applications, with deep expertise in React, modern state management, and core web fundamentals (JavaScript, HTML, CSS). Strong experience integrating RESTful or GraphQL APIs, with a solid understanding of contract-driven development using modern specification standards (e.g., OpenAPI/Swagger). Familiarity with one or more common backend languages (Go, Python, Java, Rust); Go is especially relevant given Wails.io. Strong focus on web performance optimization and accessibility (WCAG) standards. Hands-on experience with automated testing across unit, integration, and end-to-end layers (e.g., Playwright). A track record of translating high-fidelity designs into responsive, accessible interfaces in close collaboration with design and product. Experience with Git-based workflows and CI/CD. Preferred Skills and Qualifications Experience building applications in embedded browser environments or desktop-web wrappers (Wails, Tauri, Electron). Experience integrating LLMs or building agentic features, including Model Context Protocol (MCP), tool use, or AI assistants in production applications. Working knowledge of authentication, authorization, and encryption techniques and standards. Experience with at least one major public cloud provider (AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure). Experience with NoSQL database development. Experience developing, deploying, and maintaining distributed services with containers (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes, EKS, GKE).
