- Build and operate services on AWS (EKS, IAM/STS, S3) with infrastructure-as-code practices
- Implement security controls for user-supplied connection parameters (JDBC URL validation, SSRF prevention, hostname allowlisting)
- Build materialized view scheduling, execution, and lifecycle management features




- Design and implement deployment automation - canary deployments, progressive rollouts, observability integration
- Collaborate with the NRDB/Dirac team on the internal connector bridging federated queries to Recent Relic's native telemetry engine
- Participate in on-call rotation and incident response for production systems

Requirements

- Experience with gRPC or Thrift-based service communication
- Experience with GraphQL APIs

Nice to Have

- Strong understanding of SQL query execution - parsing, planning, optimization, or execution engines
- Experience with JDBC drivers, connection pooling, and database connector development
- Experience with distributed query engines or SQL-on-anything platforms
- Experience developing plugins or connectors for distributed query engines (SPI-based architectures)
