Software Engineer (Backend), GTM Tooling

June 11, 2026

Category-defining tech. Career-defining work. The next era of software won’t operate at human scale. Applications will create applications. Systems will coordinate with systems. Data and decisions will move faster than teams can react to them. The infrastructure powering that world cannot be fragile, reactive, or limited by the assumptions of the past. Cockroach Labs exists to build what comes next — before the world requires it. We created CockroachDB to survive failures, scale without compromise, and adapt to changing conditions automatically. Now we’re helping define a future where complexity fades into the background and infrastructure simply works, no matter the scale. This is the kind of challenge that attracts people who want to shape industries, not just participate in them. The work is ambitious, the standards are high, and the impact is real.

This includes presentations, detailed documentation, and workshops.</li><li>DevOps Tooling & Infrastructure: Continuously improve and manage the infrastructure, tooling, and supporting systems required to operate and scale the GTM OS effectively. </li></ul>The Expectations In your first 30 days, you’ll complete Cockroach Labs’ onboarding program, gaining a solid understanding of CockroachDB’s architecture, features, and relevant development processes.

By 60 days, you’ll be actively contributing to the overall design and direction of GTM OS, and will start taking on direct, low to medium complexity features or tasks while gradually building confidence and expertise. After three months, you’ll independently lead new features end-to-end, from requirements gathering and design to implementation and deployment, demonstrating autonomy and initiative. You will proactively identify and champion improvements in the system, turning insights into concrete development proposals, and provide technical guidance to peers through direct feedback, code reviews, and best practices learned throughout your experience.
