• Intelligent Customer Placement — Decide which part of the fleet each customer lands on, bin packing tenants efficiently while reserving enough headroom so everyone gets the capacity they're entitled to.
• Auto balancing — Continuously rebalance customers across shared infrastructure as load shifts, protecting each customer's performance while keeping the fleet healthy.
• Autoscaling — Automatically add or remove capacity as demand changes, so the fleet grows and shrinks with real usage instead of being manually provisioned.
• Data-Driven Decisions — Use real-time per-tenant usage (e.g., memory, storage, throughput, query cost) to drive placement and balancing.
• End-to-End System Depth — Go deep into the underlying data platform (how data is ingested, stored, cached, and queried) to understand why a placement or scaling decision helps or hurts, and feed that back into the models.
• Operational Rigor — Operate what you build, and treat customer-impacting incidents with the same rigor as feature work; reliability and static stability are forcing functions for design, not a phase bolted on after launch.
• Feature Delivery — Deliver key parts of our systems as an individual contributor while leading the team to solve ambiguous problems, and move the scalability of our LogScale engine to the next level.
• Technical Strategy & Alignment — Engage with other technical leads and principal engineers to keep our technical strategy coherent across the LogScale platform and move our product mission forward.
• Communication — As a remote-first company, bring excellent verbal and written communication skills when working with teams across the globe.

• Current hands-on experience as an engineer (3+ years) owning a distributed system that handled tens of billions of requests per day or more than 1 PB of data per day;
• History of significant and continued impact on customer experience and business results;
• Demonstrated track record of operational excellence when operating services that span many components across several geographical regions;
• Experience working with and growing strong engineers within remote teams across geographies and cultures;
• Ability to communicate and articulate crisply
• Proven experience utilizing AI technologies to enhance decision-making, streamline workflows and processes, improve efficiency and drive business outcomes.
