TL;DR · Software Engineering MTS

The Software Engineering MTS joins the Core Query Services team to build critical query infrastructure for a multi-tenant platform. This role involves designing and building systems for query generation, planning, indexing, statistics, and execution to improve performance and scalability across massive workloads. You will analyze production telemetry to identify regressions, develop automated detection tools, and implement AI-assisted features for engineers. The work focuses on solving complex database scalability problems where standard relational databases lack inherent understanding of tenant-specific schemas and visibility models. Candidates should possess strong experience in Java or other modern object-oriented languages, along with a deep understanding of SQL, relational databases, and data structures. Key responsibilities include managing production deployments, owning SLA/SLO for built systems, and collaborating across teams to optimize query infrastructure while ensuring high reliability and performance at scale.

What you'll do

  • Design and build query infrastructure that operates safely across massive, multi-tenant workloads from architecture through implementation.
  • Develop algorithms and systems for query generation, planning, indexing, statistics, and execution to improve performance and scalability.
  • Analyze production telemetry at scale to identify performance patterns and turn insights into durable platform features.
  • Build observability, diagnostics, and automated tools to simplify the detection and resolution of complex database problems.
  • Execute high-quality code with production discipline including feature configurations, staggered rollouts, and A/B validation.
  • Manage SLA/SLO requirements and participate in on-call rotations to investigate cross-stack production issues.
  • Collaborate across teams to solve performance and scalability problems spanning the entire software stack.

What we're looking for

  • Strong software engineering experience in Java or another modern object-oriented language.
  • Strong understanding of relational databases, SQL, and reasoning about query behavior.
  • Solid foundation in data structures, algorithms, and complexity analysis.
  • Experience designing or operating high-scale, performance-sensitive production systems.
  • Ability to debug complex problems across multiple layers of a software stack using metrics, profiling, telemetry, and experimentation.
  • Ability to design solutions that can be delivered safely and incrementally in large-scale production.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills to explain complex technical concepts and influence decisions.
  • High ownership, quick learning, and comfort operating in a dynamic engineering environment.
