What they're looking for
- Strong backend or distributed-systems engineering experience, ideally touching OLAP databases, query engines, or data infrastructure
- Experience with SQL, query planning/execution, or building APIs that many other engineering teams depend on
- Comfort reasoning about tradeoffs between flexibility, performance, and ease of use and making deliberate calls between them
- A track record of owning ambiguous, cross-team projects end-to-end rather than just executing well-scoped tickets
- Strong cross-functional collaboration skills, this team's work only matters in the context of the products built on top of it
