Job description
from Everlaw careersEverlaw is looking for a Staff or Principal Database Engineer to serve as the technical cornerstone of our data infrastructure. As a mid-sized SaaS company experiencing rapid growth, our challenge isn't just storing data—it's ensuring that data is highly available, performant at scale, and ready to power the next generation of AI-driven features.
In this role, you will be the in-house expert for our databases and storage layer, moving fluidly between low-level optimizations and high-level architectural design. You will have the autonomy to make high-stakes decisions and the resources to implement the latest advancements in data infrastructure. You will help to drive the work of a core squad of engineers, as well as provide technical guidance to engineers to level up their database expertise across the broader engineering organization. You’ll also collaborate with (and learn from) a community of other staff and principal engineers with industry-leading expertise in search, cloud infrastructure, full stack SaaS application design, data science, and performance. You’ll have regular visibility to, and interactions with, our Chief Technology Officer and other senior leaders at the company.
Note: We value "applied" expertise. We are looking for someone who loves the theory but lives for the practice of keeping production systems running smoothly.
