About The Position

SingleStore engineers build the real-time data platform powering some of the world’s most demanding applications. Their cloud-native architecture enables high-performance transactional and analytical workloads at scale, and teams ship production code continuously throughout the year. The company operates in a fast-moving, highly collaborative environment where engineers own their work end-to-end and partner closely across Product, Sales, and Go-To-Market teams to deliver meaningful business impact. This role is for a Senior Software Engineer to join the Helios team, focusing on designing and delivering core capabilities for SingleStore’s cloud-managed service. It is a senior technical leadership role with end-to-end ownership of large, release-defining projects at the intersection of distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and database technology. The primary focus is on cloud-based metering and billing for all Helios products and features, involving building and maintaining the bookkeeping system and integrations that power cloud revenue with extreme attention to detail. As a Software Engineer, you will set technical direction, solve complex system-level problems, and act as a force multiplier across the organization, working closely with Product and customer-facing teams to ensure the platform meets the needs of both long-standing enterprise customers and new adopters. This position is ideal for an engineer who thrives on deep technical challenges, takes pride in building durable systems, and enjoys mentoring others while remaining hands-on. The role is open across multiple levels (Senior, Staff, or Principal), with final leveling determined by experience, scope of impact, and demonstrated technical leadership.
