Résumé du poste

Superhuman is seeking a senior engineer to lead a small team focused on the calc engine of a browser-based database. You will own core aspects of invalidation, execution, and query planning, while remaining closely involved in coding.

The role balances management and hands-on work, aiming to deliver an enterprise-grade product with scalable infrastructure and strong performance at high concurrency.

Qualifications

• Experience with internal components of a database system including query optimization, planning, or storage engines.
• 2–3+ years as an engineering manager or tech lead overseeing a small team.
• This is a player-coach role with both management and hands-on coding responsibilities.
• Interest in building a real product rather than focusing solely on infrastructure.

Responsabilités

• Own invalidation, execution, and query planning for the calc engine and help shape architectural decisions as the system scales.
• Lead a small team (~5 engineers) with code/design reviews and fast feedback while contributing code yourself.
• Drive performance work: profiling, benchmarking, and closing gaps between correctness and speed at scale.
• Coordinate with other teams building on top of the calc engine.
