- Participate in code reviews and write clear documentation.
- Collaborate with your team and partner teams to deliver reliable, performant data infrastructure.
- Continuously learn and grow your depth in distributed data systems.
- 3+ years in software engineering with solid distributed-systems / data fundamentals.
- Exposure to / experience with data platform systems - streaming/ingestion (Flink) and/or MPP query engines (StarRocks / Trino / Apache Pinot / Apache Doris/ Druid).
- Some experience or strong aptitude for operational management of high-scale data platform systems (participating in on-call, debugging production, performance/data-quality basics).
