At Prisma, we’re redefining how developers work with databases.

If you’re fascinated by the cutting‑edge data infrastructure powering companies like Twitter, Airbnb, and Facebook, but want the agility, ownership, and impact of a fast‑moving startup, Prisma is the place for you.

Backed by top‑tier Silicon Valley investors like Amplify Partners, Kleiner Perkins, and IVP, our small, distributed team is making advanced database technology accessible to developers everywhere.

Our open‑source tools are trusted by over 400,000 developers each month, with a thriving community on Discord and GitHub, where we’ve earned 43,000+ GitHub Stars.

Our commercial offerings center around Prisma Postgres, a flagship product that supercharges PostgreSQL with modern developer workflows, performance optimizations, and seamless scaling.

Alongside it, Prisma Accelerate and Studio provide a world‑class toolkit for building with data.

By combining open‑source power with cutting‑edge commercial solutions, we’re shaping the future of databases, one developer at a time.

What would you do at Prisma?

You’ll be part of our Prisma Data Platform team, responsible for Accelerate, Prisma Postgres, and the bare‑metal cloud that those products run on.

You’ll contribute across the stack to the projects of the team.

Design, implement and deploy a websocket server that allows customers to connect to Prisma Postgres from WASM environments where TCP connections are unavailable.

Work closely with the ORM team to define the protocol of that server so they can implement the client adapter.

Choose and deploy a globally distributed configuration store (like etcd, rqlite) for encrypted authentication secrets to enable global routing for Prisma Postgres.

Collaborate with an infra engineer to improve automation of our bare‑metal servers, reducing provisioning time.

Troubleshoot and fix connectivity bugs experienced by customers.

High standards for quality, balancing pragmatism with ownership and impactful results.

Excellent written and verbal communication in English; able to articulate complex ideas, give and receive feedback, and collaborate across teams.

Structured, methodical problem‑solving mindset with clear goal setting and stakeholder alignment.

Competitive base salary and stock options, including extended post‑termination exercise windows.

Fully remote work with flexibility to work from anywhere within the required time zones.

Generous paid time off: 24 days of vacation, paid sick leave, 24‑week parental leave, 6‑week sabbatical after 3 years.

Mental health support: 4 fully paid mental health days per year, professional resources.

Tech and ergonomic budget, ergonomic chair subsidy, and annual on‑site off‑sites with all expenses paid.

Relocation support for Berlin after 12 months if you choose to relocate.
