- Build and improve infrastructure and tools to increase system reliability, reduce incident response time, and simplify/automate operations.
- Write clear documentation, both publicly and internally.
- Participate in on-call rotation.

### Drive product innovation

- Collaborate cross-functionally with internal teams to ensure operational efficiency.
- Lead technical discussions and influence product roadmaps.

## About You
- 5+ years of industry experience building data-intensive software solutions.
- **Proficient in Go**, or experienced in systems programming with willingness to ramp up quickly in Go.
- Cloud-native experience deploying and operating services on at least one major cloud platform (**AWS/GCP/Azure**).
- Practical experience with **Kubernetes**.
- Strong problem solver and solid production debugging skills.
- Clear communication in writing (design docs, code review) and verbally (technical discussions, customer calls, incident response).

## Bonus Points
- Experience with database replication technologies (**CDC**, logical replication).
- Experience with durable execution frameworks (**Temporal**).
- Experience with data formats and protocols (**Avro**, **Parquet**, **Protobuf**).
- Experience with modern data processing frameworks (e.g. **Kafka**, **Spark**, **Flink**).
