Qualifikationen

• Work extensively with PostgreSQL, Redis, ClickHouse, and similar technologies to support high-volume trading data.
• Optimize queries, caching strategies, schemas, and data access patterns as usage and data volumes grow.
• Instrument services with appropriate metrics, monitoring, and alerting, and participate in on-call rotations.
• Investigate and resolve latency, memory, performance, and reliability issues under demanding production workloads.
• Partner with frontend and mobile engineers to deliver analytical and real-time data through robust APIs.
• Contribute to a fast-paced 0-to-1 development environment where engineers have meaningful ownership over what they build.
