About MotherDuck Don’t let the quirky name fool you! We’re on a mission to radically transform the data analyst user experience. We empower and delight analysts using a novel cloud architecture built on top of DuckDB, an open source foundation with a vibrant community. Our team is a diverse mix of passionate, collaborative and empathetic data industry veterans from Google, Amazon, Meta, Snowflake, Looker, SingleStore, Databricks, and the like.
We’re shaking up assumptions on how data should be done! We empower and delight data practitioners using a novel cloud architecture. We believe in the power of single node databases, built on top of DuckDB, an open source foundation with a vibrant community.
Our engineering team comes from a wide mix of backgrounds, running the gamut from data experts to generalists, from big tech to start ups, and SaaS companies to government and finance.
But no matter where we’ve come from, we’re passionate, collaborative and customer-focused. We work together as a team from across our engineering hubs in Seattle, San Francisco, New York, and Amsterdam.
We’re looking for Backend Engineers to help MotherDuck scale the magic of DuckDB into the cloud. As part of the team, you'll build distributed systems that power query execution, storage, access control, and other core platform capabilities.
If you enjoy systems-level thinking, care deeply about reliability and performance, and want to work on the core of the software that directly improves the experience of analysts and data engineers, this role may be a great fit.
What You’ll Do:
Design and implement scalable backend services using Go and C++
Build and evolve critical systems related to metadata, authentication, access control, query lifecycle, and file visibility
Optimize for performance, reliability, and maintainability through careful design and operational rigor
Collaborate with other engineers on architectural decisions and technical direction
Investigate and resolve production issues and participate in a customer support or production oncall rotation
Work closely with product and frontend teams to ensure backend systems enable complete and cohesive user experiences
What We’re Looking For:
Hands‑on experience with distributed systems, preferably using Go, C++, or similar languages
A strong understanding of performance, latency, and fault tolerance in real‑world production environments
Familiarity with API design, observability practices, and production debugging
A product‑focused mindset and a willingness to dive into unfamiliar areas when needed
Ability to communicate technical ideas clearly and collaborate across teams
Example Projects:
Implement new database semantics to enable customer usage patterns
Improve storage performance by developing and tuning caching layers.
Optimize compute provisioning to ensure no noisy neighbors impact customers while keeping infrastructure costs low.
What people should be saying if you’re doing ducking awesome
Their code made our queries run faster without anyone asking for it.
They spotted and fixed a tricky bug before it ever hit production.
Our backend is easier to understand because of their clear designs and documentation.
They built a feature that just works… and keeps working.
They think about the edge cases the rest of us forget.
What we provide
Competitive salary and stock options so you have a stake in our success.
Top‑notch healthcare coverage – 100% paid medical, dental, and vision for employees, plus 80% coverage for dependents.
Flexible PTO – take the time you need to recharge, explore, or just have a lazy day.
401k plan.
Legendary company events – we bring the whole team together twice a year for unforgettable summits in fun locations, plus 1‑2 team gatherings a year to keep our bonds strong.
Hybrid work environment – Spend three days a week in the office collaborating with the team, and work from wherever you’re most productive the rest of the time—whether that’s your home office, a coffee shop, or a peaceful lakeside retreat.
Our Process
Round 1: Interview with our Talent Partner (30min)
Round 2: Technical Screen with one of our Tech Leads (30min)
Round 3: 4 meetings with members of the team (60min each)
Round 4: Values interview with our CEO/Founder (45min)
Please Apply Does this role sound appealing to you, but you’re missing some of the requirements or don’t quite think you’re qualified? Please apply anyway. Research has shown that underrepresented groups in technology often shy away from roles which aren’t a 100% match. We aim to build a diverse team and will strongly consider applicants who bring many of the requirements plus have other experiences which round out their qualifications.
