• Build and evolve the data systems data users love. That includes our query experience, conversational analytics, dashboarding, integrations with tools like n8n, and the Airflow orchestration layer.
• Design simple interfaces that hide the complexity of the data platform underneath.
• Critical systems and hundreds of consumers depend on the analytical plane, so every change you ship is tested, rolled out safely and observable.
• Define and monitor SLOs and error budgets for customer-facing services.
• Lead blameless post-incident reviews and automate safety guardrails.
• Shape the roadmap end-to-end.
• Work with product managers to understand user needs, balance cost, latency and user experience, pick the right tech, and clearly explain trade-offs to leadership.

• 3+ years building backend or platform services

• Demonstrated ability to turn best practices into opinionated "paved roads" that make doing the right thing effortless.
• Clear, concise English communication.
• The toolbox we use (and you probably know): Python, Spark, Kyuubi, Iceberg, Airflow, dbt, n8n, Kubernetes, AWS, Grafana. Experience with every single item is not required—bring your strengths and curiosity.
