Description

  • Design and evolve distributed data architectures for increasing traffic, data volume, and engineering complexity.
  • Build reusable infrastructure components, frameworks, and platform capabilities for engineering teams.
  • Lead initiatives involving data distribution, sharding, replication, migrations, and architectural modernization.

  • Experience with MySQL or PostgreSQL and one or more distributed databases such as MongoDB, Cassandra, or DynamoDB.
  • Experience leading complex architectural initiatives across multiple systems and engineering teams.
  • Strong technical judgment, ownership, and ability to influence decisions without formal authority.
  • Experience with distributed SQL, search infrastructure, analytical databases, or other large-scale storage systems is preferred.
