- Solid understanding of data modeling, incremental updates, and schema evolution.
- Deep knowledge of Postgres optimization indexing, partitioning, query tuning.

- Bonus: exposure to dbt, ClickHouse, Kafka, Temporal , or developer-analytics ecosystems.
What Makes This Role Exciting
- Youll build the foundation for AI-driven engineering insights used by companies around the world.
- Youll work directly with CxOs and senior architects .
- Youll get to see your work come alive in dashboards viewed by CTOs and CEOs.
