## 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
