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

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
