Full Job Posting
Day to Day Responsibilities
- Build at a scale that changes the problem. Deploy, extend and operate multi-petabyte MPP — StarRocks, ClickHouse, Trino/Presto, Spark, Druid, Kusto.
- Go deep into database internals. Work on query execution, vectorized processing, cost-based optimization, and columnar storage formats such as Parquet and Arrow, and understand these engines from the inside out.
- Work across the stack and across languages. Move between services in Python, Java, and Go and performance-critical native code in C++ — deep expertise in any single language isn't expected, just a readiness to follow the problem wherever it leads.
- Engineer the lakehouse on cloud infrastructure working with open table formats (Delta Lake, Iceberg, Hudi, Paimon) and build on cloud services and container orchestration with Kubernetes.
- Practice AI-native engineering. Use AI-assisted development and agentic tooling as part of the daily workflow, build AI directly in decision-making systems and operations, and help define how the team uses it on real production systems.
- Own components and partner for impact. Shape architecture, make build-vs-adopt decisions, and own components end to end while partnering with data scientists and product managers on data that shapes decisions for hundreds of millions of Windows users.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or related technical field AND 2+ years technical engineering experience with coding in languages including, but not limited to, C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, or Python OR equivalent experience.
- OR equivalent experience.
Preferred Qualifications
- 3+ years of proven coding and debugging skills in object-oriented languages. C#, C++, Java, or equivalent.
- Practical experience with Kubernetes, StarRocks, Clickhouse, Kafka, Flink, Trino, real-time/NRT systems, open-source data platforms.
