Yugabyte has been successful in creating a distributed, massively scalable, fail proof, cloud native, superfast database solution. However, in today’s data explosion era we run a high risk of stroke. It can never catch a break and it can never afford to fail. Witnessing and participating in the rapid but careful design of the product, I learned a great deal about the iterative process of development, the importance of being detail oriented, and the need to be flexible and welcoming of changing requirements.Ī consistent database is the heart of any software system. I found immense satisfaction working on such a forward-looking product as Yugabyte’s Database-as-a-Service.

Getting the opportunity to work at Yugabyte was undeniably a coincidence. This dread only amplified in the lockdown year to the point where I was considering everything from UPSC to a PhD in Biology because everyone I talked to had only stories of dissatisfaction. It was made worse by hearing about job prospects and experiences from my seniors studying the haphazardly-taught, age-old curriculum only to be tested the next morning in outlandish ways and being surrounded by thousands of my peers who were trying to get a foot into the IT industry only because it had the most appealing cost-benefit ratio. I spent the next three years disillusioned and fearful that the path I’d carved out for my future was one that I wouldn’t find fulfilling. And when the time came to declare my second major I was just another sheep in the herd. In my first year of college, I was undecided about the bachelor’s degree I’d be working towards.

I’m a fifth-year student at BITS Pilani KK Birla Goa Campus, a private university located in Goa, India. In this post, I’d like to talk about my experience working here and the positive influence this company has had on my future. It has been a continuous and exponential metamorphosis driven by the people and carefully curated-although seemingly effortless-culture at Yugabyte. ![]() The last four months have transformed me from a confused and cynical college student to a curious and optimistic technology enthusiast and developer.
