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?

Developers primarily interact with the Redis database through client libraries and integrations. These libraries are widely used across commercial and open source projects. We are looking for an experienced Senior Software Engineer to contribute to the growth and development of Redis' ecosystem. A key responsibility of this role is to enhance the developer experience by actively collaborating with open source communities.

Why would you love this job?

Are you a developer who thrives in collaborative environments and loves working within open source communities? Do you believe that APIs are not just technicalities, but should be intuitive and enjoyable for others to use? Do you also have a strong engineering mindset, with the ability to take ideas from concept to implementation? Are you programming language agnostic by mastering several paradigms? If so, this role is for you.

What you’ll do: 

  • Contribute to several client library projects, such as redis-py, node-redis, or go-redis
  • Collaborate on open source projects used by developers worldwide
  • Advocate for an exceptional developer experience and best practices
  • Help adding support for existing and new Redis features to client libraries
  • Act as technical lead for initiatives beyond the scope of a single programming language 
  • Work closely with external contributors, library users, client developers, product managers, and collaborate cross-functionally with other engineering teams

What will you need to have? 

  • Be a real team player 
  • Ability to communicate technical terms and concepts clearly
  • Familiarity with agile methodologies and work environments
  • Experience with designing software solutions from scratch
  • At least 6 years of hands-on development experience
  • Proficiency in at least two of the following languages (with at least 4 years combined experience): Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Go, or PHP
  • Fluency in English, both written and spoken

Extra great if you have:

  • Proficiency in another programming language, for instance C, C++, Rust, or Zig    
  • Strong understanding of distributed database systems and network technologies
  • Experience with maintaining a public open source library
  • Practical experience with database systems
  • Familiarity with Linux
