- Strong background in distributed systems, event-driven pipelines, or observability services.
- Experience building developer-facing SDKs, CLIs, or platform APIs.
- Familiarity with data warehouses (BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift) and ETL/CDC patterns.
- Experience supporting production systems in a high-availability environment.
- Preferred: Familiarity with Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, PagerDuty.
- Preferred: Background in hybrid SaaS/on-premises deployments and developer experience tooling.

- Define schemas, thresholds, and event models aligned with licensing enforcement and adoption signals.
- Ensure SDKs integrate with CDPs (Segment, RudderStack, Posthog) and internal telemetry pipelines (BigQuery, Snowflake, dbt).
- Maintain schema compatibility and versioning across services and SDKs.
- Build with scalability, maintainability, reliability, and security as core principles.
