• Act as a force multiplier and trusted technical advisor: raise the execution and quality bar for your team and partners, mentor senior engineers
• Take end-to-end ownership of the platform lifecycle — guiding customers from onboarding through adoption, driving the offering forward

• Strong Go experience in production distributed systems
• MVCC, GC/compaction, consistency models, replication, and/or CDC
