About the Role
We are a small team based in San Francisco looking to hire a founding engineer that has a dedicated focus around distributed systems. As a founding engineer, you will have the opportunity to wear multiple hats, directly interact with our customers and play a crucial role in shaping the future of our product.
This is a challenging and dynamic role and you will be working at the forefront of data engineering, distributed systems and infrastructure.
What you should expect & examples of day-to-day tasks:
- Building column encryption, launching our analytics portal and schema change alerts.
- Building tooling to streamline and automate infrastructure workloads.
- Introducing pipeline efficiencies by making tradeoffs between virtual memory and disk.
- Building native change data capture (CDC) connectors to data sources that we do not yet support.
What we are looking for
- Strong fundamentals in computer science
- Pragmatic and care more about building the right thing vs. being right
