Job Specifications

At Liberatii, we're shaking up the $60B SQL database market, by building a SW layer that makes databases interchangeable. Our customers are enterprises who are desperate to migrate their mission-critical applications to more modern, affordable databases - without having to spend $millions per application to rewrite them. We just completed our first pilot with a production application, proving the technology can work.

We're looking for an exceptional Head of Engineering to help us go fast after this $60B opportunity as an early-mover in the space.

In this pivotal role, you'll have the opportunity to:

Build and lead a small, fast-moving team creating one of the most disruptive products in the Database space
Work closely with the CEO, CTO and early customers to align technical and business goals
Establish practices to enable the team to consistently hit unreasonable deadlines, while maintaining high standards of quality
Foster a culture of innovation, continuous improvement, and engineering excellence while embracing our core values

To excel in this role, you'll need:

Experience leading a team of high-urgency software engineers
Deep understanding of database internals, data structures, algorithms, and low-latency programming
Experience solving a complex software challenge, such as building a compiler or a mission-critical distributed system
An eye for spotting talented engineers - even early in their career
An ability to explain complex technical concepts simply

Today, we use the following technologies:

Linux
C++
Postgres SQL
TypeScript
Docker
Kubernetes
Azure/AWS Cloud
Github

At Liberatii, we’re building an environment where innovation, collaboration, and growth can flourish. We're building a team that thrives on speed, embraces continuous improvement, and is passionate about solving real-world problems. If you share our enthusiasm for driving change and delivering value, we'd love to hear from you.

Join us in shaking up the Database industry!

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
