Are you excited to shape the foundation of a cloud-native SaaS platform by building durable, high-availability data architectures that stand up to growth and change? If so, we invite you to be a part of our innovative team.

In this role, you will collaborate closely with application and infrastructure teams to develop efficient, resilient, and high-performance data solutions that directly support customer-facing workloads. You’ll leverage cutting-edge technologies—including AI tools like GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT—to enhance productivity, accelerate problem-solving, and continuously improve how we design and operate our data platforms.
