  • Design robust database systems and developing tools for query and analytic processing, especially for real-time streaming applications.
  • Conduct performance analysis and empirical studies to evaluate tradeoffs (e.g., cost vs. throughput/latency).
  • Develop, manage, and own the database architecture for our real-time streaming cloud-hosted analytics platform.
  • Lead build automation, continuous integration, deployment, and performance optimization efforts while ensuring compliance with security requirements.
  • Lead design of test suites and inline instrumentation as needed to ensure data correctness

What you’ll bring:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field.
  • Proven success in deploying products in the cloud and SaaS model, with expertise in building optimized processing pipelines for streaming analytics applications and cloud-agnostic solutions (e.g., Kubernetes, Docker).
  • Expertise in databases and query optimization, including PostgresSQL, ElasticSearch, MongoDB, Redis, and Druid, with additional experience in NoSQL and graph databases being advantageous.
  • Experience in horizontally scaling databases.
  • Proficiency in Kafka and Airflow, with a deep understanding of runtime profiling tools to optimize throughput and latency, and able to establish comparative performance benchmarks.
  • Strong skills in build automation, continuous integration, and deployment (CI/CD) tools like Webpack, Buddy, Jenkins, and Docker.
  • Expert-level Python coding skills.
  • Experience collaborating with distributed teams.

Helpful to have:

  • Technical background in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML).
  • Experience designing and implementing interactive query-driven main-machine intelligence systems.
  • Solid skills in Java.
