What cool technologies will I get to work with?
We are all-in on Kubernetes - we operate many clusters across multiple public cloud regions. Our main programming language is Go, and we build dozens of Docker containers covering REST APIs, lambda functions, periodic jobs and workflow steps. Our stack includes: Etcd, Open Policy Agent, Prometheus, Grafana, Nginx, Terraform.
The cloud platform team owns the foundational services that enable our products to be deployed across the globe and our customers to launch and manage their databases, streaming pipelines, and other future data products.
This includes the infra control plane, monetization platform and logging and monitoring frameworks for our cloud database.
It is this platform that enables us to expand our service to ever more regions in the public cloud, to manage multi-region, multi-cloud database clusters that offer unparalleled availability and low latency, and scale individual clusters on demand when a customer needs to.

We started DataStax ten years ago to commercialize Apache Cassandra. There are even more interesting challenges to tackle now! Some of the things we're working on include:
Astra Streaming
An event streaming platform built on Apache Pulsar that (among other things) enables CDC out of Cassandra
Astra DB
Where we tore Cassandra apart and put it back together to create a multitenant, fully elastic service
And our team is growing!
