Role & responsibilities
Lead the engineering organization responsible for BicDB, our high-performance distributed database and application infrastructure platform.
Own architecture, reliability, performance, security, testing, release engineering, and technical roadmap.
Build and mentor a world-class team of database, distributed-systems, storage, search, and infrastructure engineers.
Drive rigorous benchmarking and compatibility work against established systems such as PostgreSQL, Redis, Tantivy, Kafka, and RabbitMQ.
Establish engineering standards for correctness, adversarial testing, crash recovery, security, observability, and long-term maintainability.
Turn production workloads and failures into measurable improvements, regression tests, and durable engineering knowledge.
Work closely with the Carrier, Sentinel, search, medical, and business-platform teams as BicDB becomes the common infrastructure underneath our products.
Prepare the platform for external developers and enterprise customers, including documentation, LTS releases, supportability,



and open-source/community readiness.

Preferred candidate profile
Deep experience with databases, distributed systems, storage engines, search engines, or similarly performance-critical infrastructure.
Robust systems programming background; Rust experience is highly desirable.
Excellent understanding of concurrency, transactions/MVCC, replication, query execution, indexing, networking, persistence, and failure recovery.
Comfortable reading unfamiliar systems code, profiling real workloads, questioning assumptions, and benchmarking against best-in-class implementations.
Pragmatic rather than dogmatic: willing to adopt proven ideas, discard elegant ideas that lose in measurement, and optimize for correctness first.
Experience leading senior engineers while remaining technically hands-on.
Comfortable working in an unusually rapid AI-assisted engineering workplace, where implementation veloci
