Category-defining tech. Career-defining work.
The next era of software won’t operate at human scale. Applications will create applications. Systems will coordinate with systems. Data and decisions will move faster than teams can react to them. The infrastructure powering that world cannot be fragile, reactive, or limited by the assumptions of the past. Cockroach Labs exists to build what comes next — before the world requires it.
We created CockroachDB to survive failures, scale without compromise, and adapt to changing conditions automatically. Now we’re helping define a future where complexity fades into the background and infrastructure simply works, no matter the scale.
This is the kind of challenge that attracts people who want to shape industries, not just participate in them. The work is ambitious, the standards are high, and the impact is real.
We're looking for a Backend Software Engineer to join our GTM Engineering team. In this role, you’ll be focusing on building out our internal knowledge and intelligence infrastructure. This is a new system designed to leverage the latest in agentic execution combined with deep software development fundamentals to enable real improvements to not just the Revenue team, but Cockroach Labs as a whole. While this is a remote role, you must be based in the greater New York area to be eligible for the position.
You Will
The Expectations
In your first 30 days, you’ll complete Cockroach Labs’ onboarding program, gaining a solid understanding of CockroachDB’s architecture, features, and relevant development processes. During this time, you’ll also set up your local development environment, CI/CD tools, and repository access and contribute to at least one feature or tooling improvement in working closely with the other engineers for guidance and review.
By 60 days, you’ll be actively contributing to the overall design and direction of GTM OS, and will start taking on direct, low to medium complexity features or tasks while gradually building confidence and expertise.
After three months, you’ll independently lead new features end-to-end, from requirements gathering and design to implementation and deployment, demonstrating autonomy and initiative. You will proactively identify and champion improvements in the system, turning insights into concrete development proposals, and provide technical guidance to peers through direct feedback, code reviews, and best practices learned throughout your experience.

While we’ve learned valuable lessons working remotely, nothing can replace the connection, creativity, and fun that occurs when Roachers get together and we are committed to fostering a workplace that encourages collaboration and allows us all to do our best work.
