About the role:
We are looking for a Backend Engineer to join our core
platform team. This is a deep technical role sitting at the intersection of
streaming data systems, query engine design, and language implementation. You
will build and evolve the systems that allow users to express complex queries
over real-time and historical data — from parser to execution. If you have
built compilers, database engines, or Kafka-native systems from the ground up,
this role was written for you.

Key Responsibilities:

​

• Design and implement components of our query language runtime —
including parsing, semantic analysis, query planning, and execution.

• Build and extend Kafka-native data pipelines and streaming query
execution using Kafka Streams and the broader Kafka ecosystem.

• Develop and maintain backend services and integration layers
using Spring Boot.

• Collaborate with database and infrastructure teams to optimize
query execution over large-scale storage systems.

• Contribute to the design of language semantics, type systems,
and query optimization strategies.





• Write high-performance Java and C++ code; own critical,
latency-sensitive system components.

• Review designs and code across the team; set standards for
correctness, performance, and maintainability.

Requirements
Required Qualification:

​

• Proficiency in both Java and C++ — able to write, review, and
own production code in either language.

• Solid Kafka knowledge — required at the following levels of
depth:

• Ideal Candidate: Proven
experience contributing to the Kafka ecosystem — open-source contributions,
Kafka Improvement Proposals (KIPs), or deep architectural work within the Kafka
internals (broker, consumer group protocol, log compaction, etc.).

• Minimum
Qualification: Proven hands-on
experience building Kafka connectors and stream-processing applications using
Kafka Streams in production environments.

• Solid Spring Boot experience — building production-grade backend
services, REST/
