## About the Role

* 5+ years building and operating production data infrastructure.
 * Proficiency in Rust, or strong C/C++ with appetite to work primarily in Rust.
 * Hands-on experience with Kafka, Redpanda, NATS, PostgreSQL, ClickHouse and/or Iceberg, ideally self-hosted.
 * Strong distributed systems grounding: consistency, backpressure and failure modes.
 * Systems-level thinking with a feel for hardware constraints.

Nice to Have

 * Background in trading, fintech or another domain where bad data has immediate impact.
 * Experience with Grafana or other observability tooling.

## Description

You'll join the Foundation team, owning the pipelines and stores every other team depends on. You'll architect the ingest path for exchange and internal trading data, run the streaming layer on Kafka and NATS, and build real-time aggregation and long-term storage across PostgreSQL, ClickHouse and Iceberg. Everything is self-hosted, so you'll own capacity, retention, schema evolution and failure behaviour end to end.
