Hi! So the team is over 100 at this point, but engineering effort is spread across multiple products at this point.

The core timescaledb repo [0] currently has 10-15 primary engineers, with a few others working on DB hyperfunctions and our function pipelining [1] in a separate extension [2]. I think generally the set of outside folks who contribute to low-level database internals in C is just smaller than other type of projects.

We also have our promscale product [3], which is our observability backend powered by SQL & TimescaleDB.

And then there is Timescale Cloud [4], which is obviously a large engineering effort, most of which does not happen in public repos.

Interested? We're growing the teams aggressively! Fully remote & global.

Hey thanks for the insights! I've added all timescale repos for indexing and should have the bigger picture in a few hours. Thanks again for catering to my curiosity.
