This is a fully remote role, but you’ll need to be based in Europe.
We're building a database platform for companies that rely on PostgreSQL at scale. And by “at scale,” we don’t just mean large volumes of data or high server counts, we also mean growing teams and the operational complexity that comes with them: staging and developer branches with data, data anonymization and privacy, zero-downtime schema changes, and more.
In every feature we build, we optimise for developer experience, high performance, and flexibility. This gives our customers the confidence to rely on us for one of the most critical pieces of their cloud infrastructure.
The AI wave of developer tools presents exciting opportunities and challenges - and PostgreSQL and Xata are well-positioned to be at the center of it. We’re a transparent company, maintaining several popular open-source projects, and we enjoy writing technical blog posts about how we solve various challenges.
You’ll be joining our Product team as a design engineer, working closely with the frontend engineering team. You’ll be responsible for the overall product UX, DX, and visual design. This includes defining design guidelines, creating shared styles and components, and ensuring consistency across the product and public website.
At implementation time, you’ll contribute directly to the codebase or pair with frontend engineers. Our design process typically starts with simple wireframes and moves straight into coded prototypes (we usually skip high-fidelity mockups in Figma).We work with:

Nice to haves:
Xata is well-financed by amazing investors, including Guillermo Rauch (founder of Vercel), Shay Banon (co-founder and CEO of Elastic), Neha Narkhede (founder of Confluent), Elad Gil, Christian Bach, and Mathias Biilmann (founders of Netlify), and many others.
We’ve raised a $30 million Series A from top investors (Index Ventures and Redpoint), having the first ever 100% female board for such a technical company.
If you come from an underrepresented background in tech, we strongly encourage you to apply. We believe that our success is driven by the talented and diverse team we’ve brought together from a variety of backgrounds, cultures, and countries. We’re always challenging ourselves to build an inclusive culture that enables us to create innovative and successful products.
Our founder, Monica Sarbu, also founded a non-profit organisation called Tupu, which helps tech companies support diversity in tech through mentorship.
We're eager to hear from you, and if you decide to apply, we're rooting for you!
If this role sounds like a fit, we’d love to hear from you! When applying, please include a link to your personal website or portfolio, along with your GitHub profile. Or, anywhere else we can see examples of your work that blend design and code.
