Staff Software Engineer, Backend (Platform)

Responsibilities

• Evolve Hex's execution architecture — the graph-based system that compiles, plans, and runs user notebooks — including proposing and building entirely new compute components that support faster, smarter execution
• Drive parallel execution strategies and caching approaches that reduce latency and minimize unnecessary round trips to external data warehouses
• Instrument complex systems to surface and diagnose performance problems to give the team and our customers a much clearer picture of where time is being spent
• Collaborate across engineering and product to support new platform capabilities, such as building an internal query language that compiles to the appropriate dialect for any connected warehouse
• Author and review technical proposals, and mentor engineers to implement ambitious designs effectively
• Propose and roadmap long-term designs with clear milestones across quarters
