BetterDB (https://betterdb.com) (https://github.com/BetterDB-inc) | Founding Engineer | Remote | Full-time 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 have a live cloud SaaS: https://betterdb.com/login In the last two months we've averaged more than one release per week across multiple products and channels. That's what "moves fast" looks like in practice. We hired our first engineer last month and are looking to expand the team — no pressure on timeline, we'd rather find the right person.
