MariaDB is making a big impact on the world. Whether you’re checking your bank
account, buying a coffee, shopping online, making a phone call, listening to
music, taking out a loan, or ordering takeout – MariaDB is the backbone of
applications used every day. Companies small and large, including 75% of the
Fortune 500 run MariaDB, touching the lives of billions of people. With massive
reach through Linux distributions, enterprise deployments, and public clouds,
MariaDB is uniquely positioned as the leading database for modern application
development.
The Prospect
MariaDB MaxScale is a database proxy that manages traffic between applications
and MariaDB server clusters. It functions as an intermediary layer to provide
high availability, scalability, and load balancing. Because applications connect
to MaxScale as if it were a MariaDB server, complex operations—such as
read-write splitting, query limiting, and transparent failover—can be
implemented without modifying the application.
Role Overview
We are looking for an engineer to join the MaxScale team to primarily focus on
QA and release management and secondarily on the maintenance of our build
infrastructure. MaxScale consists of multiple configurable components, resulting
in a high number of potential configurations that require extensive test
coverage. While our developers write system tests in a white-box fashion, this
role focuses on black-box testing of complex scenarios, the verification of
product documentation, and the management of our packaging and release
pipelines.
As MaxScale and its tests are written in C++, a good working knowledge of the
language is expected, along with a solid understanding of SQL. In addition to
testing, you will work closely with support engineers and customers to verify
and resolve reported problems, and assist in maintaining the automated build
system.
