Requirements

10+ years of professional software engineering experience
Demonstrated track record of designing, building, and operating large-scale distributed storage or data infrastructure systems
Deep experience with object storage (S3, Azure Blob, or equivalent) — including IAM, access control policy design, lifecycle management, and operational practices at petabyte scale
Proven ability to lead complex, multi-quarter infrastructure projects end-to-end, including cross-team dependency management and coordinating migrations across many consuming teams
Strong background in authorization and access control design for distributed data systems

Nice to Haves

5+ years of Backend/Infrastructure Software Engineering experience
Experience safely executing large-scale data migrations with a strong instinct for sequencing, blast radius reduction, rollback, and data integrity validation
A strong developer experience sensibility: the ability to build abstractions that are ergonomic, well-documented, and actively reduce toil for the engineering teams that depend on your platform

Architect the unified Iceberg platform: Lead the technical design of a metastore service as it becomes the single source of truth for Iceberg table management across all compute engines — Spark, Trino, Flink, and PyIceberg
Lead compliance architecture: Partner with security and compliance teams to translate regulatory requirements into durable preventative technical controls — audit logging, access review infrastructure, data segregation, and lifecycle enforcement — built into the platform rather than bolted on
Drive cost and efficiency at petabyte scale: Identify systemic inefficiencies in storage layout, snapshot retention, and data lifecycle, and design automated, self-service tooling that scales without ongoing manual intervention from the team
Set the technical bar: Own critical design reviews, establish standards for reliability, security, and developer experience, and mentor senior engineers through high-stakes architectural decisions
