Responsibilities

  • Drive the Rearchitecture: Lead Rolodex's evolution. Rebuild it for the scale of our context graph, preserving its centralized flexibility while unlocking the full performance of underlying storage technologies (time series, vector, etc.).
  • Empower the Graph & Elevate DevEx: Deliver clear ontologies, predictable APIs, and core tooling (SDKs, local dev) that unlock AI agent workflows and eliminate bespoke integrations.
  • Secure the Foundation: Own the evolution of our centralized permissioning system, transforming a robust security model into an intuitive, frictionless experience for developers.
  • Optimize Data Performance: Design and optimize query abstractions (indexing, SQL/GraphQL) and smart routing for heavy workloads.
  • Build Shared Platforms: Establish productized patterns for cross-cutting data needs like schemas, data modeling, chunked uploads, and pipelines.
  • Automate Cloud Infrastructure: Share ownership of Gecko's Cloud footprint. Write Terraform, build self-serve tooling, and systematically eliminate engineering toil through automation.
