About EDB

The world loves Postgres. If you work with developers or data scientists or anyone wrangling data, you'll probably see a sticker with the tusks and trunk of the Postgres elephant on the lid of a nearby laptop. EDB has a lot to do with that. We've been major contributors to Postgres since the beginning, and we are proud to call thousands of boundary-pushing customers our partners. Proud though we are, we are not resting on our laurels. There's plenty of work to do. The good news is that everything we do will impact Postgres, which is to say that it will impact the world. No pressure.

Role Overview

We are currently looking for a Software Engineer who'll help build our next generation of database migration software, with a focus on data transport tooling and capabilities. Database migration can be one of the most challenging tasks for a company undergoing a technical transformation, whether it's "ground to cloud" or from one database technology to another.
