This is an interesting inclusion, would they be referring to copies of this book being sold on Amazon? Or usage in their documentation? I'm genuinely curious what the issue is with them...

Not sure but I assume it's Amazon offering Postgres as a service through AWS Aurora.

Unlikely, Postgres license is as liberal as they get:

There seems to be a demand for developers who know the internals of Postgres to evolve and customize it given that it is being used, at different levels of abstraction/layers, by basically all cloud providers (AWS, MS, Google, etc) and by some DB SaaS. BTW, that would be a cool job to have...

Timescale is hiring for a Software Engineer (Database Internals) and this could also be a senior-level hire. It's based on PostgreSQL but if the rest of the resume stacks up it's not 100% essential that you've worked on PostgreSQL internals before. Global, remote.

What would be an ideal resume for someone who never worked on Postgres
