Requirements

• Strong practical experience with C and / or C++

• Experience with kernel-level, low-level or systems programming

• Ability to work with large, complex C / C++ codebases

• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills

• Ability to work independently on complex engineering tasks
   

Nice to have

• Experience with database engines or storage systems

• Familiarity with PostgreSQL internals

• Experience with Greenplum or other MPP systems

• Understanding of distributed systems

• Python knowledge for tooling and utilities

• Contributions to open-source systems or infrastructure projects
