Collaborate closely with product management, UX, frontend, infrastructure,: software delivery, and analytics teams to design and ship high-performing solutions
Review and improve database-related changes from other engineers and: community contributors, ensuring data integrity, safety, and performance across all deployment scenarios.
Design, build, and maintain tooling such as SQL traffic replay and background: operations frameworks to proactively surface and address scalability and performance issues.
