turbopuffer is looking for product engineers who want to advance the frontier of search. we're doubling down on our developer experience this year and looking to ship a host of highly requested features and improvements (playgrounds, observability, alerting, insights, billing).

what you'll do:

  • design and implement end-to-end improvements to our overall developer experience from the UX (dashboard, docs, site, SDKs) to our core database.

  • help customers understand, monitor, and optimize their tpuf workloads.

  • write crisp docs

must have:

  • product engineering

    • you are passionate about UX and can think like a product manager

    • you are driven by solving user problems

    • you have an eye for design

  • domain expertise

    • you’ve maintained and iterated on web-based products at scale

    • you have prior experience with multi-tenant SaaS apps (billing, authentication, authorization)

  • typist — you can write well and explain complex ideas simply

  • human — you build trust and admit what you don’t know

nice to have:

  • experience in the React ecosystem (shadcn/ui, Next.js, Tailwind, Vercel) and/or backend frameworks (Rails, Phoenix, Django)

  • an interest in vector and full-text search and experience interacting with tools in the space
