SingleStore Hiring for Software Engineer, Web at British Columbia Full Time

What if you built the world’s greatest database but nobody used it? That’s what would happen to us if we didn’t put so much effort into our online public presences. Our main website, documentation website and blog are all very important to us, and we have our own team dedicated to building these products. This team also works on some other smaller projects from time to time, as they own all of our public-facing web properties.

The Web Engineering Team is made up of 3 engineers and works on all types of projects ranging from analytics integrations with the core product UI, to testing and integrating various search engines into our blog platform. Search engine optimization, accessibility, performance, cross-platform support are all critically important for everything built by the Web Team.

The tech stack for this team has changed a lot over the last few years (and will change a lot in the future too), but Gatsby is the core web framework that powers most things. The Web Team leverages a CMS platform so that most of the content on our public properties are editable by members of our Marketing Team. This CMS needs to scale to hundreds of pages and thousands of resources.
