What they're looking for
- Gets energy from working deep inside a complex distributed system — understanding how data flows through it, where the bottlenecks are, and how to make it meaningfully better
- Has built or significantly extended an OLAP engine, columnar database, query processor, or large-scale data processing system — not just operated one
- Thinks about cost, performance, and reliability as interconnected concerns, not separate workstreams
- Communicates clearly about technical tradeoffs and earns influence through the quality of your work and ideas, not through title
- Finds it natural to help other engineers level up — through pairing, design reviews, or just being the person who explains the “why” behind a system’s design
- 7+ years of industry experience in backend or infrastructure engineering, with depth in distributed data systems
