Turbopuffer jobs

Field Growth Marketer at Turbopuffer responsible for conference strategy, event planning and execution, meetup/dinner hosting, and logistics management. Requires operator skills, quantitative event analysis, and ~50% travel time. Remote with significant travel expectations. Function is event/field marketing, not software engineering.

TurboPuffer is seeking an Executive Assistant to support the CTO and manage operations at their NYC office as the company scales. You'll own the CTO's calendar, travel logistics, and inbox across overlapping time zones, while also coordinating with the CEO's EA on company-wide initiatives, planning events and offsites, and evolving the new hire onboarding process. Required experience includes prior work as an EA, Chief of Staff, or similar operations role managing high-volume schedules for senior leaders, strong written communication skills, and the judgment to anticipate needs and fill operational gaps proactively. The role is hybrid in their downtown NYC office with occasional travel to Ottawa and SF. TurboPuffer values operators who can handle competing priorities without dropping balls and who build trust quickly with senior stakeholders. The company prioritizes pragmatism over perfectionism and expects candidates who "overstep" rather than leave things undone—prior startup experience or background supporting technical founders is a plus.

TurboPuffer is hiring product engineers to help build the developer experience for their vector search database. You'll work across the full stack—from frontend (dashboard, docs, SDKs) to core database—shipping features like playgrounds, observability, alerting, and billing while helping customers monitor and optimize their workloads. Required experience includes extensive work with browser technologies (HTML/CSS/JS/TS), web apps (databases, APIs), and multi-tenant SaaS systems (billing, auth); you must be passionate about UX, driven by user problems, and able to write clear documentation and explanations. Nice-to-haves include React ecosystem expertise (Next.js, shadcn/ui, Tailwind), backend frameworks (Rails, Phoenix, Django), interest in vector/full-text search, and Rust experience. The role emphasizes being a strong writer, building trust by admitting unknowns, and prioritizing correctness and customer feedback over premature optimization.

Outbound Growth role at Turbopuffer, a vector database company. Responsibilities include prospecting engineers, writing outreach, qualifying leads, and managing sales pipeline for developer-focused product. Requires builder mindset, technical understanding of databases/APIs, and familiarity with sales tools (Clay, Apollo). Remote US-based role; emphasizes sales/GTM function over engineering.

TurboPuffer is hiring database engineers to advance their search engine, which processes both full-text and vector search at scale. You'll design and implement improvements across storage, indexing, and querying layers, perform intensive performance optimization (profiling, SIMD, IO tuning), evolve their search APIs, and work directly with customers to shape the product. You must have strong systems engineering skills in languages like Rust or C++, with deep expertise in at least one domain: search internals (inverted indexes, ANN), storage engines (LSMs, WALs, compaction), or distributed systems (replication, fault tolerance). You should be comfortable at the Linux systems level (terminals, eBPF, perf, gdb) and write clearly to explain complex ideas. Multiple years of Rust experience and production-scale systems maintenance are nice to have, as is involvement in database/IR communities or expertise in Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, or multi-tenant security. This role emphasizes hands-on performance hacking and working methodically through root-cause analysis rather than surface-level fixes.

Turbopuffer is hiring a Customer Success Engineer to help customers debug issues and optimize their usage of the vector search platform. You'll reproduce customer issues in Python or JavaScript/TypeScript, optimize queries, write documentation examples, and embed yourself in customer Slack channels to own their outcomes. Must-haves include strong technical writing skills, Linux terminal comfort, proficiency in Python or TypeScript, and systematic problem-solving ability; Kubernetes, vector search, or full-text search experience is a plus. The role emphasizes practical problem-solving over theory and values showing results over talking about them. Notable for a startup that prioritizes customer outcomes and expects engineers to "overstep" when needed—this is a high-touch, hands-on support-engineering position rather than traditional customer success.

Turbopuffer is hiring a Deployed Engineer to serve as technical champion for customers. Responsibilities include building POCs and demos, answering technical questions, owning customer relationships end-to-end, solving customer problems, and contributing to product roadmap based on customer feedback. Requires commercial instinct, data background, Linux/Python/TypeScript skills, and strong writing ability. US/Canada remote; role emphasizes customer success and sales enablement over core engineering.
