Powered by a high-performance, globally-distributed document store that is built ground-up with inspiration from Google Spanner, YugabyteDB aims to make applications agile like never before. Yugabyte is headquartered in Sunnyvale, CA, and has its R&D presence in Bangalore & Pune. We are backed by Lightspeed Venture Partners and Dell Technologies Capital.
 

Why this could be best job opportunity in India today?

Below is opinion from eLitmus 

• Great work content
  • Distributed SQL databases designed for scale and resilience is a problem which researchers have started attacking only in last few years (so you will working on problem which is the hottest area in R&D and still evolving).
  • This technology is next generation to No SQL databases like Mongo DB
• Great colleagues
  • Techies who played a key role in building & scaling Cassandra & HBase for applications like Facebook Messenger and Facebook's Operational Data Store are now at Yugabyte
  • Company will hire very few but highly talented folks in their R&D center in India - completely flat organization with no politics and no bureaucracy whatsoever
• Great leadership
  • Founders like those of Google are still hands on and have built game changing technology in their previous organizations
• Stocks windfall
  • Listed companies offer RSU where multiplier are not as much
  • This is a sizeable company (so no fear of overnight failure) which is pre-IPO , so offers ESOPs where upside multiplier are huge. So actual CTC could dwarf the CTC indicated above
  • Any thing related to data is darling of stock markets right now (example Snowflake, Databricks)

Eligibility:

• 2016/17/18/19/20/21 batch BE/ BTech(CS/IT)
