Cockroach Labs

Before you apply

• Study CockroachDB's architecture before applying — read the architecture docs at cockroachlabs.com/docs and understand concepts like multi-active availability, serializable isolation, and Raft consensus, then reference these specifically in your application materials
• Write your resume in a single-column, ATS-friendly PDF format with explicit keywords from the job posting — Greenhouse parses your document and recruiters scan for terms like 'distributed SQL,' 'Go,' 'consensus,' and 'multi-region'
• Prepare for system design interviews by practicing distributed database scenarios: data partitioning strategies, replication protocols, failure handling, and consistency-availability tradeoffs are core to Cockroach Labs' interview philosophy
