Staff Software Engineer, Technical Lead, Lakebase Manager (LBM)

What we look for:

• 8+ years designing, building, and operating large-scale distributed systems, including the processes around testing, monitoring, and SLIs/SLOs.
• A track record of technical leadership as an individual contributor: setting architecture and direction for a team's projects through influence, without formal management authority.
• Strong hands-on depth: you still design systems and write production code, and can go deep on architecture for large-scale distributed services.
• Experience operating reliability-critical, highly available services (on-call, incident response, HA/failover).
• Comfortable working toward a multi-year vision with incremental deliverables, and balancing short-term delivery against long-term stability.
• Ability to align multiple stakeholders on competing priorities.
• Motivated by delivering customer value and impact.
• Proficiency in Go, Rust, or a similar systems language; experience with PostgreSQL and Kubernetes is a plus.
• BS (or higher) in Computer Science, or a related field.
