Задачи

• Own meaningful distributed systems in Prefect Cloud: orchestration, APIs, data paths, and services that keep the platform reliable at scale
• Bring strong technical judgment to ambiguous problems, including when to prototype, when to harden, and how to make tradeoffs visible
• Work directly from product and customer context, including enterprise needs and GTM signal, in an environment without a dedicated PM for every project
• be a self-starter who can shape the problem, not just implement a ticket
• Use AI-powered development tools effectively in planning, implementation, review, testing, and iteration while maintaining strong independent judgment
• Lead operationally mature work: write maintainable code, build for reliability, participate in on-call and incident response, and improve the systems you own over time
• Raise the technical bar for the team through design feedback, code review, mentoring, and clear written communication

Требования

• Senior-level back-end or systems engineering experience with a record of owning large-scale distributed systems in production
• Meaningful experience designing, building, or materially extending a query engine, analytical database, streaming system, or distributed data-processing runtime
• Relevant work may involve query planning or optimization, physical execution and operators, distributed execution, partitioning and data movement, columnar or vectorized processing, incremental computation, resource management, or fault tolerance
• Strong computer-science and distributed-systems fundamentals, with sound judgment about concurrency, consistency, performance, reliability, and failure
• Able and willing to write production Python. Prior systems experience may be in Python, Rust, Go, C++, Java, or another suitable language
• Strong product instincts and comfort operating in a small, fast-moving, low-process environment, including working without a dedicated PM and creating clarity from product and customer context
• Curiosity, self-direction, and a pattern of expanding ownership and taking on harder problems
• Effective use of AI-powered engineering tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, or comparable workflows, with the judgment to use them as force multipliers rather than substitutes for understanding
• Able to communicate tradeoffs clearly in writing and discussion and bring other engineers along through review and design work
• Full-stack or product engineering exposure is a bonus, especially experience shipping product-facing features from ambiguous requirements
• WHAT YOU'LL GET IN RETURN
• Base Salary Ranges (current Senior / L5 band)
