Yea. Everything but messages is on Scylla.

  It's unfortunate Discord is still requiring relocation to SFO, the product is amazing and it looks like some awesome engineering behind the scenes that would be fun to work on!

    This isn't true anymore. We switched to allowing and supporting permanent remote work (writing this from Seattle).
    - res0nat0r 5y ago
      I applied the other month for a job that mentioned SFO or remote, then halfway through the signup it stated that they were allowing folks to work remote until COVID was better, then wanted folks to be onsite, and then prompted for a yes/no if I was willing to move to SFO at a later date. Didn't get a chance to talk to anyone and expect it was because of this, so is a bit disappointing.

        That's weird. Do you have a link to the job posting?
        res0nat0r 5y ago
        I believe it was this one: https://discord.com/jobs/4004051002 https://discord.com/jobs/4004051002 I see a couple of Storage Engineer job links below, I should apply to one of those too... :)

        Ah yeah, just tested it and it says "IF APPLICABLE, WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO RELOCATE TO DISCORD'S SF HQ? WHILE DISCORD IS EMBRACING A HYBRID REMOTE APPROACH GOING FORWARD, SOME ROLES WILL REMAIN HQ-BASED." It is not applicable for that role. It is not applicable for most (maybe all) engineering roles.

        Yep that is it!

  Why not messages?

    Upstream blockers in scylla + its our biggest dataset, and is a quite large project.

      :wave: Do you use Cassandra for all your access patterns or do you use something else (elastic search or something) also? I'm just curious as in my professional career I recently switched to platform engineering from full stack mobile/web software engineer. Thanks!!!

  Does Discord offer undergraduate internships? I use the platform daily, enjoyed reading the thought process that went in to this design, and would love the opportunity to intern there. If y'all are, I'd like to get in contact! My email is: anthony75025[at]gmail[dot]com, and my resume can be found at https://www.anthonyjiang.com/pages/resume.html https://www.anthonyjiang.com/pages/resume.html
