• Build and optimize APIs for data analytics, search, and multi-tenant access
• Manage ingestion pipelines with high throughput (millions of events per hour) and maintain schema and data quality controls
• Drive operational excellence through monitoring, autoscaling, and disaster recovery plans
• Collaborate closely with a small, agile team reporting directly to founders — quick decision-making and high autonomy

Requirements

• 5–7+ years of experience with production data platforms, streaming, databases, and real-time systems
• Deep hands-on expertise with Kafka, ClickHouse, Kubernetes, PySpark, Typesense (or similar full-text search), and S3 or other cloud data lakes
• Proven track record building scalable, reliable data pipelines and data / analytics APIs in a fast-moving environment
• Strong product mindset focused on cost-efficiency, automation, and API-first delivery
• Comfortable working in a small, highly autonomous team with responsibility and freedom to influence tech and culture
