C++ Developer

Daily work with Starcounter’s query processing engine (QP). This component embodies regular capabilities of an in-memory database: standard SQL queries, query planning and optimisation, query compilation into machine code (LLVM). It also encompasses the recent research in databases, including incremental view maintenance and deductive queries. It is being developed by a team of 4 people, 2 are PhD in databases. The QP code is performance-critical, being high-level and algorithmi? at the same time.

Ownership for a particular chunk of QP code as a direct developer, while overseeing and improving the entire query processor codebase. This involves reviews of your teammates code, pair programming sessions, architecture sessions at a whiteboard.

Be involved and facilitate the use of QP APIs inside the Starcounter platform code.
