About the role
- This is not a straightforward data engineering or BI role.
Responsibilities
- Time-Series & Metrics Infrastructure - Own and extend our time-series database (TSDB) layer as the backbone of real-time observability.
- Write and optimize PromQL/MetricsQL queries that power alerting, anomaly detection, and trend analysis across thousands of GPUs and hundreds of benchmark runs.
- Query Optimization & Performance - Profile and tune query engines against columnar and time-series stores so that the observability layer meets its own strict P99 latency and freshness SLAs. Benchmark the benchmarking infrastructure itself.
- BI & Reporting (secondary) - Where needed, build self-service views (Grafana, Looker, or similar) for engineers, product managers, and executives, but as a downstream output of the insight and observability work above, not the primary deliverable.
- Working knowledge of time-series databases and fluency in PromQL or MetricsQL for building real-time alerting and anomaly detection, not only historical dashboards.
- Familiarity with data lake architectures and modern table formats (Iceberg, Parquet, Avro) sufficient to support an insights platform, though this is not the primary skill this role is hiring for.
- Strong communicator comfortable collaborating with cross-functional teams and external partners.
- Build the detection and diagnosis logic that surfaces anomalies and regressions before they become incidents, not just dashboards that report on them after the fact.
- Design and build the systems that continuously assess
- Own and extend our time-series database (TSDB) layer as the backbone of real-time observability.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience building distributed systems, observability platforms, or performance engineering tooling, ideally for infrastructure or ML systems rather than general-purpose BI.
- Hands-on experience with Kubernetes at production scale, CI/CD, and observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry) used to monitor and diagnose infrastructure, not just report on it.
Nice to have
- Experience with time-series databases, LSM-based storage engines, or custom telemetry pipelines.
- Experience running MLPerf submissions or similar large-scale audited benchmarks.
- Contributions to OSS projects such as Apache Iceberg, Apache Spark, Trino, llm-d, vLLM, or PyTorch.
- Direct experience benchmarking or monitoring large GPU fleets or multi-region clusters.
- Experience with CUDA kernels, NCCL/SHARP, RDMA/NUMA, or GPU interconnect topologies.
- Familiarity with data cataloging, lineage tools, or data governance frameworks.
- We're in an exciting stage of hyper-growth that you will not want to miss out on.
