• Partner with program managers, support engineers, and architects to scope new feature requests and refine existing designs.
• Help grow the team by participating in recruiting, mentoring, and shaping engineering best practices.
• Collaborate directly with customers and BI client tool partners on integration, compatibility, and adoption.

Requirements

• B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science or a closely related technical field.
• Fluency in Java, C++, or another modern systems language.
• Strong foundation in data structures, algorithms, multi-threaded and asynchronous patterns applied to scalable systems.
• Demonstrated passion for software quality, zero-downtime upgrades, availability, and resiliency.
• Experience developing scalable distributed systems and deploying, scaling, and managing microservices in production.

Nice to have

• Hands-on experience with JDBC, ODBC, ADBC, or other database driver/protocol implementations.
• Working knowledge of the Apache Arrow ecosystem and its internals.
