About QuestDB
QuestDB is the fastest growing time-series database in the world.

As a specialized database, QuestDB stores, processes and analyzes time series data in real-time, with a focus on reliability, extreme performance and simplicity. It provides best-in-class hardware efficiency and robust features, saving costs and accelerating time-to-value.

Teams have had success with QuestDB across a wide range of industries, such as Financial Services, Energy, Manufacturing, Web3 and Space Exploration. Fortune 500 companies such as Airbus and Yahoo deploy QuestDB for large-scale, data-intensive production systems, serving close to a billion users. Emerging and disruptive startups also leverage QuestDB to gain a significant edge within traditional industries.

Our open source repository has gathered 14k+ stars in three years, and is the fastest growing in our category according to DB-Engines. We are a product-first company with a large community of developers. As a team, we are globally distributed, remote-first and backed by leading venture capital firms and Y Combinator.

The Role

At QuestDB, we’re building the fastest open-source time-series database — engineered for real-time data, loved by developers, and battle-tested in production. We’ve got product-market fit and a thriving community. We need someone to focus on growing developer-led open source adoption and increase the reach of QuestDB across developer communities.

We’re hiring a founding member of the go-to-market team to lead organic growth, community activation, and ecosystem visibility.

You’ll work closely with the CEO, product, and engineering teams to build systems that drive product discoverability, contribute to long-term growth, and deepen QuestDB’s presence in developer conversations.
