Job description

We are looking for an engineer who blends strong software engineering fundamentals with a deep operational mindset. You will own the control plane that makes our TSDB reliable, scalable, and easy to operate, and you will fluidly move between building operational tooling and shipping product features. You should be comfortable owning problems end to end, from requirement gathering through design, implementation, rollout, and on-call operability. BS or MS in CS or equivalent 5+ years of industry experience Deep understanding of core CS concepts including data structures, algorithms, and concurrent programming Proficiency in one or more programming languages such as Java, Scala, Go, or Python Experience designing, implementing, and operating highly scalable infrastructure services in production Deep understanding and work experience in distributed systems Hands-on experience building automation and tooling for deployment, orchestration, and operations at scale Strong attention to detail, excellent analytical capabilities, and a bias toward reducing operational toil Passion for developing clear, robust, and maintainable software and systems Experience building control plane or fleet management tooling for stateful/data systems in production Strong DevOps skillset: CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code (e.g. Terraform), configuration management, and GitOps workflows Hands-on experience with container orchestration and scheduling (Kubernetes, operators, custom controllers) Familiarity with time series database internals and the operational challenges of running them at scale Experience with Observability solutions using OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana Experience with columnar storage systems and/or building query engines is a plus Experience building high performant systems in Rust is a plus Comfortable wearing multiple hats, moving between operational tooling and core product/feature development Great communication skills
