• Innovate system architectures that address scalability, reliability, and performance for large-scale distributed systems
• Design and develop core storage, metadata, and catalog subsystems that operate reliably at petabyte scale
• Solve large-scale, high-complexity problems spanning data durability, availability, consistency, and performance
• Debug deep, cross-cutting issues that require understanding the full stack — from query planning to distributed storage to on-disk data formats
• Drive performance improvements in storage I/O paths, metadata access patterns, in-memory caching, and catalog operations
• Improve reliability and durability guarantees through resilient system design, automated recovery, and defensive engineering
• Mentor and grow junior engineers through design reviews, code reviews, and technical guidance
