• 3+ years of relevant experience with distributed datastores and backend services.
• Proficiency in Java and a willingness to learn Kubernetes and Terraform.
• Understanding of data modeling, dimensional schemas, and analytical query patterns.
• Experience building internal developer tools, libraries, or shared services that support large engineering organisations.
• A strong sense of ownership of service quality, SLOs, and operational excellence.
• Familiarity with OLAP databases or analytics warehouses (e.g., Druid, ClickHouse, Pinot, BigQuery, Snowflake).
• Comfort with metrics-driven development and observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, similar).
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams.
