- Ecosystem Familiarity: Proven track record working with or within a partner ecosystem (SIs, cloud providers, or technology alliances) with a firm grasp of how partners take solutions to market
- Technical Depth: Deep understanding of distributed systems concepts (sharding, replication, partitioning, and performance tuning) and container orchestration (Kubernetes, cloud object storage)
- Programming Skills: Strong proficiency in Python and a willingness to dive into Rust (or vice versa) to read, debug, and write production-grade integration code or SDK extensions
- Communication: Exceptional presentation and communication skills. You can translate complex data infrastructure into actionable solutions for audiences ranging from partner developers to C-level executives
- Startup Agility: A self-starter mindset with the ability to thrive and operate autonomously in fast-moving, ambiguous environments
