Job Description
Technical lead for data platform at Rerun, building a high-performance analytical system written in Rust. Own technical direction and collaborate across engineers to shape architecture and implementation.
Responsibilities:
- Set technical direction across the data platform — and be a credible voice across the wider engineering org
- Design, implement, and operationalize core systems hands-on: writing code, reviewing PRs, debugging production issues, making architectural calls
- Write POCs to validate ideas and give the team something concrete to move toward
- Define the boundaries between the data platform, SDK, and lower layers of the stack
- Represent Rerun's approach to data infrastructure externally — at conferences, in the community, with customers
Requirements:
- Deep, hands-on experience building, optimizing, and operating storage and/or database systems in production
- Polyglot background: you're senior enough to have worked across languages and paradigms, and comfortable picking up new ones — we're a Rust shop and you'll need to get fluent
- Familiarity with columnar formats (Arrow, Parquet), query engines, or storage engine design
- The kind of technical credibility that makes people trust your opinion and look to you for direction
- Technical evangelism: representing Rerun's novel approaches to data infrastructure at conferences, in the community, and with customers. You'll be a visible, credible voice for what we're building and why it matters
- Partnering with product to ensure the platform evolves around real customer needs, not theoretical ones
Benefits:
- competitive cash and equity compensation
- six weeks paid vacation
- whatever hardware and software you need to do your job
