  • Collaborate closely with product, architects, frontend, DevOps, security researchers, and other engineering teams.
  • Troubleshoot production issues and contribute to strong engineering standards and best practices.
  • Own backend data-platform capabilities, including event schemas, ingestion pipelines, and reusable query layers for high-volume, multi-tenant product analytics.

  • Experience with Redis or similar caching/message-oriented infrastructure.
  • Knowledge of Git, CI/CD, Docker, Kubernetes-based deployment, and cloud platforms such as AWS.
  • Strong debugging skills, practical production mindset, independent ownership, and effective collaboration.
  • Strong hands-on experience with Azure Data Explorer (ADX) and Kusto Query Language (KQL), including data modeling, ingestion, KQL functions, and performance-conscious query design.
