At Readyset, we are redefining database performance by building a cache that requires zero integration effort. By simply swapping a connection string, our users can reduce read latencies from hundreds of milliseconds to under a single millisecond while simultaneously lowering costs. Our technology is wire-compatible with MySQL and Postgres, allowing developers to build faster, more scalable applications without needing to modify their existing code or database architecture. We are currently seeking passionate engineers to join our fully remote team and help us explore the frontier of distributed systems and database research.
