Tailor Your Resume for this Job
At Prisma, we’re redefining how developers work with databases. If you’re fascinated by the cutting-edge data infrastructure powering companies like Twitter, Airbnb, and Facebook, but want the agility, ownership, and impact of a fast-moving startup, Prisma is the place for you.
Backed by top-tier Silicon Valley investors like Amplify Partners, Kleiner Perkins, and IVP, our small, distributed team is making advanced database technology accessible to developers everywhere. Our open-source tools are trusted by over 400,000 developers each month, with a thriving community on Discord and GitHub, where we’ve earned 43,000+ GitHub Stars.
At the heart of our commercial offerings is Prisma Postgres, our flagship product designed to supercharge PostgreSQL with modern developer workflows, performance optimizations, and seamless scaling. Alongside it, Prisma Accelerate, and Studio, provide a world-class tookit for building with data.
By combining the power of open-source with cutting-edge commercial solutions, we’re shaping the future of databases, one developer at a time.
What would you do at Prisma?
You’ll be part of our Prisma Data Platform team which is responsible for Accelerate, Prisma Postgres and the bare metal cloud that those products are built on.
To give you a clear idea of what the job could entail, here are some examples of the work we’ve done lately or will start soon:
- Choose and deploy a globally distributed configuration store (like etcd, rqlite) for encrypted authentication to enable global routing for Prisma Postgres.
- Improve automation of our servers with the goal of reducing maintenance overhead and provisioning times.
- Configure, deploy, monitor, and debug a cutting-edge containerization platform that drives both internal and external tooling and services.
- Participate in a shared on-call rotation to help ensure reliability of our systems, with an emphasis on fair scheduling, strong tooling, and a culture that values work-life balance.
An Ideal Candidate Profile
- 8+ years of experience in infrastructure, DevOps, or platform engineering, operating large-scale systems with a focus on Linux, networking, and cloud environments.
- Experience building and scaling resilient distributed systems across bare metal and cloud platforms (AWS, Cloudflare); strong understanding of systems architecture and reliability patterns.
- Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible, Puppet, or similar) and automation practices to manage reproducible, scalable environments.
- High standards for quality, ensuring excellence while balancing pragmatism, purpose, and a strong sense of agency - taking ownership, making thoughtful trade-offs, and driving meaningful impact.
- Strong communication skills in English, both written and verbal. Be able to articulate complex ideas clearly, adapt messaging to different audiences, give and receive constructive feedback effectively, and foster collaboration across teams.
- Deep expertise in Linux server administration and networking, including provisioning, configuration, maintenance, troubleshooting, performance tuning, and hardening aligned to security best practices. Fluency in Bash and Debian. Kernel-level debugging is advantageous.
- Strengthen and scale a mature security posture across Cloud environments, IAM and secrets management, secure networking and zero trust access controls, CI/CD and dependency hygiene, API and application security best practices, and maintain audit readiness.
- You think critically and communicate your reasoning clearly. You articulate your thoughts in a systematic way, plan effectively, anticipate challenges, and ensure smooth execution while keeping stakeholders aligned.
- Advantageous: Hands-on programming experience in Go, Python, or other scripting languages, with an inclination to build tools and automation that improve developer and operator experience.
