At Prisma, we are building the data layer for modern applications. If you are fascinated by the leading-edge architecture and technology used in today’s data-intensive, highly scalable software systems, with distributed graph data on a massive scale, but you want the energy, challenges, and freedom that come with working in a small startup, then Prisma might be for you. Our small distributed team works on making advanced data infrastructure accessible to all application developers. Our open-source tools are trusted by developers worldwide, with a thriving community on Discord and GitHub.

Prisma combines open-source with cutting-edge commercial solutions to shape the future of databases, one developer at a time.

Responsibilities

  • Expanding the Prisma Client to support advanced database capabilities.
  • Drive the process from technical design through implementation.
  • Continuously refine and harden the codebase to ensure stability, maintainability, and ease of contribution.
  • Build new libraries and tools that serve as foundational components, for internal teams and the developer community.
  • Elevate the developer experience (DX) by shaping intuitive, high-quality tools that simplify database access.
  • Advance TypeScript adoption by exploring and applying the latest language features, ensuring Prisma stays at the forefront of modern development.

Candidate profile / Qualifications

  • 5+ years of professional experience as a Senior Software Engineer (or equivalent senior-level role) with a proven track record of delivering production-grade systems.
  • Deep backend engineering expertise with JavaScript and TypeScript, writing clean, maintainable, and scalable codebases.
  • Strong database proficiency :
  • Hands-on experience with high-scale, data-intensive systems.
  • Skilled at query optimization, diagnosing performance bottlenecks, and managing indexes.
  • Direct experience tuning databases for reliability and speed in demanding environments.
  • Excellent English communication skills, both written and verbal; able to express complex technical concepts with clarity.
  • A mindset of continuous learning and feedback : proactively seek input, adapt quickly, and embrace collaboration.
  • Team-oriented approach : value pairing, mentoring, and proactively supporting peers.
  • Passion for building outstanding developer experience through sustainable, well-tested tools and infrastructure that empower developers and improve workflows.
  • Nice-to-have

  • Contributions to open source projects (maintainer or active contributor).
  • Experience with systems-level programming languages (e.g., C, C++, Go, Zig) and interest in low-level performance optimization.
  • Experience with edge computing platforms (e.g., Vercel Edge, Cloudflare Workers).
  • Exposure to or curiosity about WebAssembly (WASM) and its applications in backend systems.
  • What it’s like to work at Prisma

  • Ownership mindset : as part of a small team, you’ll have an outsize impact on decisions and execution.
  • Stay nimble : as a growing startup, the team and strategy evolve quickly; be ready to recalibrate and stay flexible.
  • Kind and collaborative : come in ready to share ideas and listen to feedback.
  • What’s in it for you

  • Opportunity to push the boundaries of DX and TypeScript within a fast-growing, early-stage startup with roots in Silicon Valley and Berlin.
  • Competitive base salary aligned with industry standards.
  • Stock-option grants with an exercise window of up to 10 years.
  • 24 days paid vacation per year.
  • 4 mental health days per year.
  • Fully paid parental leave up to 20 weeks.
  • Generous tech budget and ergonomic chair subsidy.
  • Access to a local co-working space if you prefer to work remotely.
  • Health, Dental, Vision + 401k Matching (US).
  • Remote work

    We are remote-first with an office in Berlin. You may work remotely or from Berlin; relocation assistance is available. We can currently accept candidates in GMT -5 to GMT +3.
