Stream (https://getstream.io/) | Staff Database Reliability Engineer - PostgreSQL | Amsterdam or Remote (Europe) | Full-time | Visa Sponsorship
Stream runs 35–40 PostgreSQL databases (largest: 15TB) behind high-write, high-concurrency APIs serving billions of requests a month. We're migrating from AWS RDS to self-hosted Postgres on Kubernetes and need someone who has owned this end-to-end: query plans, vacuum and bloat, replication, backup, HA, sharding.
Required: deep Postgres internals (MVCC, the query planner, autovacuum), real sharding experience beyond table partitioning, self-managed databases in production, and enough engineering depth to work directly with application teams on access patterns.
Explicit non-goals: RDS/Aurora-only backgrounds, analytics/data-warehouse experience, or DBAs who don't code.
Stream | Amsterdam (NL), Skopje (North Macedonia)| Remote possible | Full Time | Visa Sponsorship
We power real-time Chat, Video, Activity Feeds, and AI Moderation for apps like Strava, Bumble, eBay, and Patreon - billions of API requests per month, millions of concurrent users.
We're looking for a hands-on Lead Engineer (Staff / Principal level) to own Platform & Infrastructure.
Reports directly to the CTO.
Small, senior team - you'll write code most of the time, not run a process org.
First 6 months focus on three things with measurable outcomes:
* Cloud cost optimization (AWS/GCP) — tooling and guardrails, not reports
* Platform reliability and scalability — SLOs, observability, hardening
* Architecture decisions on Kubernetes, databases, and cloud provider strategy
Looking for: software engineering background (Go or Python, not scripting-only), production cloud cost optimization experience, real distributed systems depth, and active AI tooling use in your engineering workflow.
Not a fit if: you're security/compliance-heavy, scripting-only, or dependent on large-org support structures.
