- Understanding and gaining expertise in existing data warehouse.
- Use the above knowledge to identify gaps in the current system and formulate strategies around what can be done to fill them
- Avail KPIs around the data warehouse.
- Find solutions to evolve and scale the data warehouse. This will involve a lot of technical research, benchmarking and testing of existing and candidate replacement systems.
- Bulid from scratch all or parts of the data warehouse to improve the KPIs.
- Ensure the SLAs and SLOs of data warehouse, which will require assuming ownership and being oncall for the same.
- Gain deep understanding into Linux and understand concepts that drive performance characteristics like IO scheduling, paging, processing scheduling, CPU instruction pipelining etc.
- Adopt/build tooling and tune the systems to extract maximum performance out of the underlying hardware.
- Build wrappers/microservices for improving visibility, control, adoption and ease of use for the data warehouse.
- Build tooling and automation for monitoring, debugging and deployment of the warehouse.
- Contribute to open source database technologies that are used at or are potential candidates for use.
What you bring
We are looking for engineers with a strong passion for solving challenging engineering problems and a burning desire to learn and grow in a fast growing startup.
