If this sounds like you, this might be one of the most technically ambitious roles you’ll come across.

• Design low-latency pipelines for analytical workloads
• Collaborate with product and platform teams to expose these capabilities via modern APIs
• Contribute to open-source projects and shape the future of their internal engine

You’ll Be a Great Fit If You:

• Have experience with Rust/C/C++ or systems-level languages
• Have worked with or contributed to analytical databases like ClickHouse, DuckDB, or DataFusion
