Software Engineer, Aiven Apps

We’re a global team of over 400 people, working together to push the boundaries of open‑source technology and multi‑cloud solutions. Our vision is to help developers, builders, and creators bring their ideas to life with speed and simplicity, by providing a cloud data platform that makes open‑source databases, search, streaming, and application infrastructure easily accessible to everyone.

The Role:

We are hiring for a full‑stack engineer to work on the recently launched Aiven application runtime: Aiven Apps, which enables users to build complete solutions in Aiven that encompass data and application runtime. We are looking for product‑minded engineers who have a keen interest in the business and user behavior, are proactive with product development ideas and tradeoffs, and want to understand the “Why?” behind all things. As a product‑minded engineer you communicate well with engineers and non‑engineers alike and are interested in how other functions work. Our teams are proud of what we build and value curiosity, healthy debate, and exchange of ideas. We expect you to be endlessly curious, to learn more and to improve our codebase.

What You’ll Do:

• Work on features end‑to‑end, from Console UX to database schemas.
• Help investigate and resolve customer issues.
• Actively participate in technical discussions and perform PR reviews.
• Contribute to technical planning and backlog management.

What we’re looking for:

• Experience building web‑facing applications end‑to‑end, including everything between the browser and the database.
• Strong development skills in TypeScript and Python.
• Familiar with running workloads in cloud infrastructure.
• Fluent communication skills in English, written and verbal.

Global Benefits:

• Participate in Aiven’s equity plan.
• Balance work and life with our hybrid work policy.
• Choose the equipment you need to set yourself up for success.
• Use your Professional Development Plan budget for learning opportunities.
• Receive holistic well‑being support through our global Employee Assistance Program.
• Inquire about our Global Time Off Commitment (Parental and Sick Leave, as well as Personal Time).
• Enjoy country‑specific benefits for our global cast.
