• Deep expertise in distributed systems architecture, including building and operating services that handle hundreds of millions of transactions and terabytes of data
• Proven experience with event streaming and messaging infrastructure (Kafka, Google Pub/Sub, or similar) at significant scale
• Strong background in scalable data stores—both relational (PostgreSQL at scale, Vitess, Spanner) and NoSQL (Bigtable, Redis, etc.)
• Operational experience with cloud-native infrastructure on GCP or AWS, including Kubernetes, infrastructure-as-code, and highly available system design
• Solid backend engineering foundation (Go preferred; Python, Java, or C# acceptable)

• Experience shaping AI/ML infrastructure or integrating AI capabilities into production systems
• History of external technical leadership: open source contributions, conference speaking, or published technical writing

• Expertise in data platform architecture: streaming pipelines, data lakes, warehouses, or distributed analytics
• Employment with Weave is contingent upon the successful completion of a background check, conducted in accordance with applicable laws.
• At Weave, we use Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to help us work more efficiently and create a smoother candidate experience.
• Weave is an equal opportunity employer that is committed to fostering an inclusive workplace where all individuals are valued and supported.
