  • Familiarity with open-source software and community-driven projects.
  • Knowledge of PostgreSQL or other relational databases.

Why Join Us?

View company profile

Yugabyte is the company behind YugabyteDB, an open-source, high-performance distributed SQL database designed for building global, cloud-native applications. Founded in 2016 by former Facebook engineers Kannan Muthukkaruppan, Karthik Ranganathan, and Mikhail Bautin, Yugabyte aims to address the evolving needs of modern enterprises by combining the power and familiarity of PostgreSQL with the resilience, scalability, and geo-distribution capabilities typically associated with NoSQL databases. The founders leveraged their extensive experience in building and operating large-scale distributed databases like Apache Cassandra and HBase at Facebook to create a database solution that can handle mission-critical workloads with low query latency and extreme resilience against failures. YugabyteDB is engineered to simplify data infrastructure management, allowing businesses to focus on innovation and growth rather than the complexities of their database systems.

YugabyteDB offers a unique architecture that includes a high-performance document store, automatic sharding, per-shard distributed consensus replication, and multi-shard ACID transactions, inspired by Google Spanner. This design enables YugabyteDB to serve both scale-out RDBMS and internet-scale OLTP workloads effectively. The database is 100% open source under the Apache 2.0 license, a decision made in 2019 that significantly boosted its adoption and community growth. Yugabyte provides flexible deployment options, allowing YugabyteDB to run across public and private clouds, as well as in Kubernetes environments. The company also offers YugabyteDB Aeon (formerly YugabyteDB Managed), a fully managed Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) platform, to further enhance data infrastructure flexibility and efficiency. Yugabyte is trusted by a wide range of organizations, from Fortune 100 companies to startups, across various industries including financial services, retail, e-commerce, telecommunications, and IoT, to power their critical applications and accelerate their digital transformation initiatives.
