Who we are

We're Redis. We built the product that runs the fast apps our world runs on. (If you checked the weather, used your credit card, or looked at your flight status online today, you’re welcome.) At Redis, you’ll work with the fastest, simplest technology in the business—whether you’re building it, telling its story, or selling it to our 10,000+ worldwide customers. We’re creating a faster world with simpler experiences. You in?

Join the Redis Cloud Unit and help power one of the fastest NoSQL platforms on the planet. As part of this high-impact team, you’ll work on the cloud deployment of Redis, supporting over 200 million operations per second at sub-millisecond latency, with true linear scalability.

This role plays a critical part in our cloud offering. You’ll own and enhance the component that orchestrates the maintenance of our customers’ production Redis clusters. Your focus will be on automating complex operational processes used by both our customers and the Redis Cloud Operations Team, ensuring reliability, scalability, and seamless execution.

Success in this role means being:

  • Passionate about cloud infrastructure, performance, and distributed computing
  • Eager to learn, improve, and grow in a fast-paced environment
  • A strong collaborator who thrives in a diverse, ambitious team
  • A proactive problem-solver with a hands-on mindset

Make an impact in a company that's scaling fast and backed by a proven product. If you're excited by cloud challenges and want to be part of something big, this is your opportunity.

What you’ll do: 

  • Lead the evolution of a production system at the very heart of Redis Cloud from a monolith to modular, cloud-native services
  • Build and maintain internal systems that orchestrate cluster lifecycle operations (create, upgrade, recover, delete)
  • Design and build for production-grade reliability, including observability, self-healing, and fault-tolerant behavior
  • Collaborate with infrastructure, platform, and SRE teams to improve automation workflows
  • Contribute to technical vision, architecture decisions, and engineering best practices
  • Take end-to-end ownership of critical backend components used by internal and external customers

What will you need to have? 

  • 8+ years of backend development experience, preferably in Python or similar.
  • Proficiency in designing and building stable, robust large-scale cloud systems.
  • Strong understanding of distributed systems.
  • Experience with microservices and RESTful API design.
  • Experience with event-driven architecture and asynchronous workflows.
  • A high level of autonomy, ownership, and communication in cross-team projects.

We give back to our employees:

Our culture is what makes Redis a fun and rewarding place to work. To support you at work and beyond, we offer all our team members fantastic benefits and perks:

  • Competitive compensation package formed by salary and equity grants
  • 25 days of flexible vacation time
  • Hybrid working options from both home and the office
  • Home internet & phone monthly allowance
  • One-time home-office setup allowance
  • Health and dental insurance for you
  • Personal life insurance 
  • Critical Illness Cover
  • Lunch and snacks in the office
