About the role :

As a Software Engineer II on the fully distributed Starburst Galaxy Reliability, Scalability, & Efficiency team, you'll own the reliability, scalability and efficiency (performance / $) of Starburst Galaxy IaaS / SaaS as we grow. You will help design and build core infrastructure around Trino of the Galaxy Product itself, as well as build "the machine that builds the machine" that is used to operate our SaaS at scale. Daily tasks will include developing the backend infrastructure related to product features, building operational tooling, supporting our product in production, and driving collaboration with various stakeholders around the reliability, scalability and efficiency of Starburst Galaxy.

On the Core Infrastructure team, you will ensure the reliability and scalability of the Starburst Galaxy infrastructure as we grow to meet the demands of our customers. You'll own the apis for provisioning and upgrading cloud infrastructure across AWS, Azure & GCP.

On the Delivery & Enablement team, you will enable the engineering organization to iterate on Galaxy confidently with maximum velocity, and minimum disruption. You'll own everything from continuous delivery to the tooling to provision and maintain developer environments.

On the Observability team, you will provide comprehensive tooling, and the underlying infrastructure primitives, for the introspection and administration of the Starburst Galaxy product. This requires modifying both Trino and Starburst Galaxy services to maximize introspection while owning infrastructure that ensures that relevant data is surfaced in an accessible way to both internal and external customers.
