EDB is looking to transform PostgreSQL into the definitive enterprise data backbone for the AI era by enhancing its core database services and offerings to meet rigorous enterprise demands for scale, performance, and operational excellence, while integrating AI capabilities for enhanced data management and developer experience.
Requirements
- Proven track record in product leadership and driving strategic growth for mission-critical database platforms (OLTP/Relational).
- Must have experience delivering products that scale to meet enterprise-level requirements (HA, security, performance).
- Deep understanding of PostgreSQL and the broader open-source database ecosystem.
- Fluency in technical concepts critical for modern database adoption, including Kubernetes, advanced replication, and hybrid cloud deployment models.
- Strong understanding of how AI/ML, vector indexing, and GenAI tooling are impacting the database layer.
- Ability to integrate these technologies to enhance core database utility, rather than simply launching standalone AI products.
- Established credibility and a strong network of industry leaders, key influencers, and researchers within the Database and Open Source Software (OSS) communities.
