About the job
Builds backend data-platform software that connects enterprise systems and enables data access, movement, processing, analytics, and AI applications.
What you'll do
- Develop services and APIs for data access, query execution, ingestion, and synchronization, including reusable connectors.
- Improve query and data-movement performance, resource efficiency, and reliability through orchestration, retries, checkpointing, and observability.
- Take capabilities from design to production, defining interfaces and architectural tradeoffs with product and engineering teams.
What they ask for
- Strong Python and SQL, with experience building maintainable, tested production software.
- Experience developing backend services, data infrastructure, or data-platform components.
- Knowledge of relational databases, query optimization, data formats, and querying data in place versus materializing it elsewhere.
- Experience with concurrent or distributed workloads, including failure handling, resource management, and performance debugging.
Nice to have
- Experience with analytical query engines, lakehouse technologies, workflow orchestration, enterprise-system integrations, or containerized infrastructure.
- Experience building connector libraries, developer-facing APIs, or shared platforms; familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, or GCP) is also relevant.
