Oisin Scanlon
Responsibilities
You’ll help design and build the core analytical data platform that powers a rapidly scaling, multi-tenant product handling telemetry and time-series data at massive scale
Your work will focus on evolving it to support 10–100x growth without disruptive rewrites
This includes moving from a single primary data store toward a more flexible lakehouse-style architecture, building scalable ingestion pipelines, and implementing new compute layers that run efficiently over data in object storage
You’ll spend a lot of time deep in the system: profiling performance, tuning query engines, optimizing memory usage, and making architectural tradeoffs that balance short-term delivery with long-term scalability
This is a hands-on role where you’ll ship production code, influence architectural direction, and help shape how the platform evolves over the next several years
Qualification
Required
Strong experience building or operating large-scale data infrastructure or analytics systems
Hands-on background with distributed systems, databases, or query engines
Experience scaling systems to support high-volume, multi-tenant workloads
Deep interest in performance: profiling, tuning, and understanding systems end-to-end
Practical experience working with open-source data technologies
Proficiency in one or more systems or backend languages (Rust, C++, Java, Python)
Comfortable making architectural tradeoffs and shipping incrementally rather than via big rewrites
Benefits
Work on genuinely hard distributed systems and data problems
High ownership and direct influence over core architecture
Opportunity to scale a real production platform by orders of magnitude
Collaborative, low-bureaucracy engineering culture
