- Contributions to open source, especially in the Rust data ecosystem (delta-rs, Arrow, DataFusion, etc.).
- Experience with data governance at scale: lineage, access control, GDPR and deletion compliance.
- A FinOps mindset: you've bent a cloud bill downward through architecture, not just instance right-sizing.
- Experience building platforms that other engineers build on: SDKs, contribution models, and paved-road developer experience.
- Recent, hands-on investment in agentic engineering practices, using tools like Claude Code as a core part of your development workflow while keeping human review at the center of quality and security.
