About the Client Engineering Team
The Client Engineering team builds and maintains Aerospike’s Smart Client Libraries — high-performance software used by customer applications to communicate with the Aerospike database.

The team works across multiple programming languages and sits directly between the Aerospike database and customer applications, making it a critical part of the overall product experience.
