The role focuses on query parsing, optimization, plan selection, query language enhancements, diagnostics, and integration, while also researching query systems, leading technical strategy, coordinating large-codebase changes, and mentoring engineers. Candidates need 5+ years of experience in data management, distributed systems, or large-scale backend engineering, strong C++ or systems-programming experience, a computer science or equivalent background, and a strong foundation in database internals; direct query-optimization experience is a bonus.
