We do this by building and running the world's best data and AI infrastructure platform so our customers can use deep data insights to improve their business.

- Create seamless, out-of-the-box development environments and IDE integrations, allowing engineers to dive into coding and debugging instantly, across all major languages (Scala, Rust, Go, Python, etc)
- Lead pivotal cross-functional projects, influence key architectural decisions, and mentor colleagues to cultivate a culture of innovation and operational excellence.
- Lead thorough evaluations with external vendors, startups, and internal teams to ensure our technology choices are strategically sound and perfectly aligned with our systems and architecture.
