• Familiarity with ClickHouse projections, query result caching, RBAC and row‑level security, and experience managing version upgrades across breaking changes.
• Strong understanding of analytical data modeling and trade‑offs between transactional and analytical storage patterns.
• Experience building or supporting high‑throughput ingestion pipelines involving streaming systems, asynchronous processing, batch loading, or change‑data‑capture style workflows.
• Experience with PostgreSQL, especially where it is used as a transactional state store alongside an analytical database.
• High proficiency and experience in Unix/Linux platforms.
• Strong working experience with C#, Go, and Docker.
• Good understanding of and experience in software architecture and high‑performance, scalable distributed systems.
• Solid grasp of application architecture, networking, security, reliability, and scalability concepts.

• 5-10 years of experience in software engineering.
• Hands‑on experience with Kafka, including event‑driven or streaming architectures beyond basic pub/sub.
• Experience designing systems for non‑blocking ingestion, asynchronous processing, internal queueing, file‑based loaders, or decoupled write pipelines.
• Experience with large‑scale JOIN-heavy analytical workloads and query patterns that require predictable low-latency responses.
• Comprehensive knowledge and work experience with any or all of the following technologies: Redis, PostgreSQL, Kafka, and OpenSearch.
• Strong foundation in Linux file systems, memory, and multi-threading.
• Experience maintaining a large number of production deployments.
