Careers

Much of today's economy depends on fast reliable access to the growing amount of data used to drive business processes, deliver services, and enable products. Schooner is a software product company. We develop, market, and sell high-availability, high-performance distributions of the MySQL database and a NoSQL data store, meant for the most demanding mission-critical applications. We are serious about ensuring the success of our customers and being a major innovator in the database market. Our software products — SchoonerSQL™ and Schooner Membrain™ — minimize downtime, deliver scaling without the sprawl, and maximize datacenter efficiency and productivity.

Are You Cut Out to Sail with Schooner?

We need more great people to grow. Schooner seeks people with high intelligence, intensity, integrity, and initiative, who are eager to join our team, delight demanding customers around the world, and build something of lasting value. But not just anyone is a fit.

• Do you think that life is too short to develop, market, sell, and support boring me-too software that doesn't break new ground?
• If you're an engineer, do you like to work on cool computer science problems? When people talk about you do they use adjectives like "brilliant," "super coder," or "uber-geek"?
• Do you like to question authority, challenge the status quo, and believe that you can do most things better than most people?
• Do you love hard work and crave professional challenges?
• Do you like challenging objectives, and believe that results matter?
• Do you have a good sense of humor and a thick skin?

If so, you might be a fit for Schooner. Teamwork, collaboration, and learning are key elements of the Schooner culture. We offer great people the opportunity to advance their careers and have some fun too.
