Principal Database Engineer

Do you believe a database should be more than just a storage bin for application software? Do you enjoy learning about complex business processes and designing and implementing clean, high-performance relational data models? If so, we want to talk to you.

We’re the engineering team that designs, develops and delivers the web-based software-as-a-service application that is changing the way leading technology and product companies get their products to market. We think it’s funny and a little scary that saving name-value pairs correctly most of the time works for some people, but that’s not for us: we manage complex relational data with rock-solid transactional integrity in a scalable multi-tenant model. Our customers entrust us with their product designs, and we make their data work for them so that they can build and ship innovative new products with confidence.

We’re looking for someone who loves a well-tuned multi-table join, and who has a quiet (or maybe not-so-quiet) passion for capturing and managing complex business information.

We are a successful 10-year-old business that still has the nimble instincts of a start-up. We take our responsibility to secure and maintain our customer’s data very, very seriously, but we also think great engineers thrive in a culture of pride and self-discipline rather than management-imposed rule-making. Come be a part of our highly collaborative and fast-paced environment and help us change the way products are made. We think you’ll love our energetic, team-based culture, and we promise that you’ll never run out of interesting problems to solve.

Specifically, as a Principal Database Engineer we’ll expect you to provide mentorship to other database developers and work closely with our database and systems teams to design and develop new product functionality, consider performance as a feature, and guide the ongoing evolution of Arena’s production Oracle database and PL/SQL code base.
