- • You'll ship reliable, highly scalable data infrastructure that supports enterprise-grade analytics workloads.
- • You'll help shape how query behaviors evolve as AI agents increasingly drive the majority of queries.

- • Hands-on experience with big data systems such as Apache Spark or Hadoop.
🏖️ Benefits
- • Salary: $200,000 – $350,000 USD annually, depending on experience.
