## About the Role

* Very strong coding skills (we mostly work with Python, you should be familiar with more performant languages)
 * Deep understanding of databases (OLTP & OLAP) (we work with Postgres & Clickhouse)
 * Experience at scale (you've seen first hand where things fall over in data-heavy systems)
 * You're pragmatic and customer-minded. The best solutions involve a deep understanding of what customers need and of what's not needed.

## Description

Right Now We Are Just 3 Product Engineers And Already Operate Systems Most Companies Don't Touch Until Much Later. You'll Be The First Engineer To Fully Own And Scale The Platform Layer

 * Handling $4 billion in annual revenue
 * Ingesting 20 TB every month
 * Processing 5 billion jobs every month
 * 6000 jobs / s at peak
 * Queries join, window, and aggregate up to 100M rows (100GB) in seconds, fully real-time.

This is not a typical SRE, systems, or backend engineering role. You will:

 * Drive your own roadmap
 * Go super deep on the hardest infra and systems problems
 * Work with product engineers to ship product that scales to the world's largest consumer brands., * You prefer to architect systems over building them. You will implement everything you design. Expect to be coding, a lot.
 * You want to own "big tech" style, multi-quarter migrations. We work with daily and weekly timelines.
 * You prefer working remote over in-person. We all love working from our NYC office.
