- Drive cost-efficient data platform design by identifying underutilized, redundant, or idle datasets, services, and compute resources
- Embed cost awareness into the data lifecycle, including:
- Designing systems that encourage reuse over duplication
- Instrumenting usage and cost signals into platform services
- Supporting safe deprecation and cleanup of stale data assets
- Partner with cross-functional teams in a fast-moving, product-driven environment

We’re excited about you because…

- B.E./B.Tech., M.E./M.Tech, or Ph.D. in Computer Science or equivalent
- 6+ years of experience with CS fundamental concepts and experience with at least one of the programming languages of Go, Java, and Python
- You have proficiency in using AI coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) in the full software development lifecycle, including designing, generating code, testing, monitoring and releasing software
- Prior technical experience in Big Data infrastructure, Cost Efficiency & Governance, you've built meaningful pieces of data infrastructure. Bonus if those were open-sourced technologies like Spark, Clickhouse, Iceberg and Airflow
- Experience improving efficiency, scalability, and stability of data platforms
- Experience building or operating backend systems in production environments
