Roles you will actually see
Who should go
Backend, data-infra and platform engineers who want to network with engineering leaders at companies that hire for distributed systems.
Conferences like this are recruiting events in disguise: the speakers are engineering managers and staff engineers, and they are the people who open reqs. Pick two talks, ask a sharp question at the mic, and follow up in the hallway with a specific ask. PingCAP and the partner companies here have real distributed-systems teams, and several are established H-1B sponsors, but confirm per company. Skip the swag line; the sponsor engineers at the booths are the goal.
Show up prepared
- 1Register on Eventbrite and check the agenda for talks by hiring managers
- 2Read one TiDB or distributed-database primer so your questions land
- 3Prepare a 30-second summary of a scaling or data problem you solved
Sponsorship reality
Sponsorship varies by employer. No organizer publishes sponsorship. Check each employer you plan to meet against H-1B disclosure data before you go, and ask in the first two minutes so neither side wastes the conversation.
Showing up is half of it.
The other half is being first to the roles these employers post, and having something real to show when you get there.
See roles the minute they go live, tailor one resume per employer, and reach the hiring manager directly. Walk into the event as a follow-up, not a stranger.
