In brief
Zeit Ai is hiring: Staff Backend Engineer, Platform in Munich.
Duties
- scale a multi-tenant Postgres under unpredictable load: query and I/O optimisation, read/write separation, horizontal scaling
- make agent-driven workloads survivable: one user can spin up 30 table syncs, some running hours, while others query large sources
- manage the sandbox layer: Docker containers where agents run queries and reverse-engineer files, with compute and memory budgets
- own connectivity into customer networks: SOCKS5 over WebSockets, authentication, routing
- scope the architecture and build it
Required profile
- staff or principal level, still hands-on, writing production code
- built and scaled multi-tenant data platforms in a B2B startup or platform company before
- deep Postgres or database knowledge: query plans, locking, I/O, caching, replication, sharding
- understands startup pace and ownership without specs
- pragmatic over ideal, wants to build foundations right without overengineering
