Description
With your passion for learning about the cloud, you are excited to help advance the Cloud Native management interfaces of an already Cloud Native Database platform. You will be part of the team that helps set the direction and define the interfaces and components necessary to advance what it means to be a cloud-native database platform. Your curiosity of the Cloud Native ecosystem will help bring Couchbase to everywhere it can add value. Your ability to represent Couchbase’s interests in Open Source Cloud Native projects, engaging those communities as an expert, will further not only your company’s value, but also the value of that ecosystem. You will also be an advocate for Cloud Native tech to other subject matter experts in Couchbase Engineering. In doing so, you and Couchbase will continue to gather users, deployments and customers in the constantly growing database market.
