About the role
Couchbase provides an operational data platform for mission-critical operational, analytical, mobile and AI workloads, both on-premises and through its Capella cloud database platform. This role sits on the team building the Cloud Native management interfaces for that database platform, integrating with the Kubernetes and observability ecosystem. With guidance from senior engineers, the engineer will design, build and ship features involving Prometheus, Fluentd/Fluent-bit, OpenTelemetry and the Kubernetes Pod Autoscaler, and may contribute to open source Cloud Native projects.

- Contribute to documentation, examples and tutorials on integration with Cloud Native ecosystem components such as Fluentd, Prometheus and OpenTelemetry.
- Help Sales Engineers, Professional Services and Support investigate and resolve customer issues related to the features you own.
- Participate in the team’s development processes, including sprint planning, estimation, CI/CD and on-call or bug triage rotations, and suggest improvements where you see opportunities.
- Work with Product Managers, Architects and senior engineers to understand requirements and help refine the design of new features, sharing what you learn about the Cloud Native ecosystem along the way.
- Collaborate with engineers on other teams where features depend on each other, and grow your knowledge of the broader Couchbase platform.
