  • Build scalable, reliable, and performant features that provide visibility into customer data pipelines.

  • Collaborate closely with product, design, and engineering teams to define and deliver high-impact initiatives.

  • Write high-quality, maintainable code while following best practices in testing, CI/CD, and operational excellence.

  • Participate in code reviews, mentor peers, and contribute to a culture of engineering excellence.

  • Help improve and evolve the observability platform's tooling, infrastructure, and processes.

What you bring to the role:

  • Strong technical experience building complex distributed systems, preferably with Golang, Python, Kubernetes, SQL/OLAP databases, and stream processing.

  • Hands-on experience designing, developing, and scaling production infrastructure.

  • Excellent collaboration and communication skills to work effectively across teams.

  • Focus on delivering customer value through thoughtful technical solutions.

  • Enthusiasm for contributing to a healthy, inclusive engineering culture and supporting the growth of teammates.
