UP for anything

Career-defining work. Category-defining tech.

For more than a decade, Cockroach Labs has built database technology trusted to power some of the world's most mission-critical applications. Now, as AI transforms how software is created and operated, the infrastructure behind it has to keep pace. Cockroach Continuum is built to meet this moment, bringing individual databases together into one fleet designed for agentic applications, where AI agents help teams provision, scale, and optimize workloads at machine speed. Building for this new era means confronting hard problems head-on. We're looking for people energized by those challenges and ready to shape what comes next with us.
