The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in distributed data systems, modern data warehouse architectures, and cloud-native technologies. You understand the nuances of multi-tenant data isolation, have battle scars from scaling data platforms through order-of-magnitude growth, and possess the strategic vision to anticipate future needs while delivering immediate business value.
