• Experience designing large-scale distributed systems (compute, storage, APIs, streaming).

• Ability to independently deliver complex projects from requirements to production.

• Systems thinker who anticipates bottlenecks, schema evolution, and reliability issues.

• Strong communication skills to influence cross-team technical outcomes.

• Growth mindset with curiosity to learn new technologies.
  

• Impact at scale: powering global analytics and ML systems.

• Challenging problems: streaming, freshness/correctness, and multi-cloud resiliency.

• Collaborative culture that values inclusion and knowledge sharing.

• Support & growth: flexibility, benefits, and career development resources.

• Focus on reliability and sustainable on-call practices.
  

• 8+ years of distributed systems or data platform experience.

• Hands-on expertise in tools like Kafka/Flink, Spark, Delta/Iceberg, Kubernetes, NoSQL/columnar stores.

• Experience in streaming and batch data platforms.

• Strong foundation in algorithms and distributed design.

• BS/MS in CS or equivalent experience.
