The Data Developer Experience team is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to build core services for our Data Platform. The team builds the Data Control Plane, a Go-based internal Terraform- or Kubernetes-like platform which allows users and other services to configure and operate Data Platform infrastructure.
Our mission is to meet the massive data scaling needs of a global organization with a platform that is simple yet powerful, self-healing, agentic-safe, trustworthy, snappy, and cost efficient.
What you’ll be doing
- Designing - you align our ambitions and stakeholder needs on a feature level. You collaborate with the team to propose well fitting solutions using RFCs.
- Building - you develop Go code with agents. The implementation may target a backend service, our plugin framework, CLI tooling, CI/CD pipelines, or even our React frontend app.
- Documenting - you ensure high quality, curated markdown documentation for users, AI agents, and maintainers / on-call.
- Operating - you strive for operational excellence with constant vigilance, proactivity, and on-call participation to ensure we provide a robust platform for business critical workloads.
- Supporting - you understand the needs of diverse data platform users and guide them to golden paths.
Our humble expectations
- You have a proven track record of designing, building, and operating large-scale distributed systems and/or platforms.
- You bring deep experience with Go, but you possess a polyglot mindset and are happy to dive into Python or other languages when the problem calls for it.
- You have hands-on experience building, maintaining, and optimizing CI/CD pipelines.
- You possess a strong foundational understanding of networking and security best practices.
- You are familiar with data platform architecture and technologies, specifically columnar databases/storage and MPP engines.
- You are passionate about Developer Experience and excel at balancing user needs with technical and platform constraints.
- You actively leverage agentic coding as your preferred workflow to accelerate value delivery, while maintaining the critical eye needed to rigorously vet and secure code for robust systems.
