MySQL Server Core Engineering develops the foundational database capabilities that enable MySQL to deliver high performance, reliability, security, scalability, and operational excellence for open-source users, enterprise customers, and cloud services.
As a Director, you will lead a broad Core Engineering organization responsible for critical database-server technology. You will set technical and organizational strategy, establish roadmap and investment priorities, develop engineering leaders and talent, and partner across product, cloud-service, and engineering organizations to deliver strategic customer and business outcomes.
This role requires an accomplished engineering leader with deep experience in database systems or comparable infrastructure software. You will guide complex architectural and execution decisions while balancing innovation with the compatibility, quality, security, and operational standards expected of a mature, globally deployed database platform. You will also help advance MySQL as a more contribution-driven open-source project through robust technical stewardship, clear architecture, high engineering standards, effective contributor workflows, and community collaboration.
