Founding Engineer

BetterDB is building the tooling ecosystem for Valkey, the high-performance Redis fork backed by AWS, Google, and Oracle. We're starting with observability — historical persistence, pattern analysis, anomaly detection, and Prometheus export — so you can debug what happened at 3am when you wake up at 9am. Stack: TypeScript, NestJS + Fastify, React, Valkey, PostgreSQL, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS. We ship OSS self-hosted and are launching a cloud SaaS. We're building in public — open-source core, open roadmap, and transparent about what we're learning along the way. Looking for a senior/founding engineer as first hire. You'll shape the product and architecture alongside the founder (ex-Redis, backed by Open Core Ventures).
