ABOUT THE ROLE You'll own the data layer behind our analytics product and design of our analytics architecture and data model.

You'll keep the serving layer fast and reliable while designing and building that broader architecture, deciding where each workload lives based on measured latency, cost, and isolation. This is a hands-on engineering role with strong architectural influence. You'll write code and also shape the multi-quarter direction of the analytics platform. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Find and fix database performance and scaling problems. - Own the schema and data model for our analytical data. - Design and build our analytics architecture: a tiered platform spanning our system of record, a low-latency serving tier, and a batch/ML tier. - Decide where each workload runs across those tiers, backing placement decisions with real benchmarks rather than vendor claims. - Build observability into the data layer so problems surface early. - Partne
