About the role

Our total rewards program is designed for your protection, peace of mind, and overall well-being.

What they're looking for

  • 10+ years of data engineering, data platform, or database architecture experience, with at least 3 owning the architecture, not just the implementation
  • Production experience with event-sourced systems. You have personally implemented or evolved an event envelope, dealt with the upcaster chain problem, and lived with the consequences of an early schema decision
  • Deep Postgres expertise: schema design, indexing, query plan analysis, RLS. Not "I've used Postgres" but "I know what I'd do differently from the last team."
  • Experience with streaming platforms: Kafka, Redpanda, Pulsar, or Kinesis. You understand the difference between a topic, a partition, a consumer group, and a saga, and you've designed for all of them
  • Strong SQL, strong enough to be the person other engineers go to
