Software Engineer- Data Ingestion

As a Staff Software Engineer, you will lead the evolution of our backend architecture, with a primary focus on refactoring and optimizing existing data pipelines. You will drive the development of next‑generation distributed data storage and processing systems designed to scale indefinitely and surpass traditional query performance. Beyond modernization, you will design clean, expressive interfaces that abstract complexity for a wide range of data consumers—from core web applications to advanced business analytics and AI.

Your expertise will be instrumental in transforming our infrastructure into a robust, high‑performance foundation.
