We are seeking a Senior Platform Engineer to join our Data Platform team. This role focuses on the services that power user controls, identity, security, secure content sharing, resource management and data access across our platform - including both building on top of Dgraph and contributing to Dgraph internals. The ideal candidate is comfortable working across the stack, but spends most of their time deep in backend services, with strong coding ability in Go and Python., * Design, build, and maintain services governing user controls, identity, and security across the data platform.

 * Build and harden secure content sharing capabilities, ensuring data is accessible to the right users under the right conditions.
 * Contribute to internal reporting and analytics tooling that surfaces platform data to internal and external users.
 * Work on Dgraph internals as needed, alongside building services and applications on top of Dgraph.
 * Partner with platform, integrations, and infra teams to ensure identity and security primitives are consistent across the broader ecosystem.
 * Drive decisions on data access patterns, permissions models, and secure sharing architecture.
 * Write high-quality, well-tested code in Go and Python, with an eye toward reliability, security, and performance.
 * Participate in design reviews and contribute to technical direction for the data platform.
