## About the role

We're looking for Platform Engineers who combine strong infrastructure chops with real backend engineering depth. You'll build and operate the systems, services, and agent infrastructure that let product teams move fast and reliably — from data access layers and event-driven pipelines to the agent first architecture that will transform our ability to scale. Your work will directly allow us to scale the amount of high quality data we are able to deliver to our customers.

## What they're looking for

- Design and build agent infrastructure that allows us to safely and reliably speed up workflows from engineering and operation teams
- Design and implement event-driven data flows using event brokers, CDC connectors, schema registries, event routing, and dead letter queues — ensuring events flow reliably and failures are visible and recoverable
- Set strategy and architecture for build systems, testing frameworks, and CI/CD pipelines, and drive the transition toward robust, automated continuous deployment
- Contribute to infrastructure cost visibility and optimization — query cost estimation, workload right-sizing, and routing data to the most cost-effective storage tier for its access pattern
- Collaborate with engineers, product managers, and designers to bring consistency and high standards to codebases, infrastructure, and processes
