About the Ingestion Team
The Ingestion team owns the mission-critical systems that serve as the front door to the Treasure Data platform. These systems must handle billions of events per day, absorb bursty and unpredictable traffic, and evolve safely as customer needs and scale grow.
At this level, Ingestion is not just about throughput—it is about long-term platform correctness, cost control, and architectural simplicity at scale.
Your Role
As a Staff Software Engineer, you will operate as a senior technical leader within the Ingestion team and across the platform:
-
Lead the design and evolution of large-scale ingestion architectures supporting multi-fold traffic growth
-
Own complex, cross-service initiatives that span multiple teams or domains
-
Anticipate scaling, reliability, and cost challenges before they impact customers
-
Set technical direction for major subsystems and influence broader platform architecture
-
Drive improvements in operational excellence, incident response, and system observability
-
Partner closely with engineering leadership, product, and customer-facing teams on strategic initiatives
-
Serve as a technical mentor and multiplier, elevating the skills and effectiveness of engineers across the organization
-
Participate in on-call rotations with a focus on systemic fixes rather than tactical responses

You are a senior backend engineer with a strong track record of owning and evolving production systems at scale. You:
-
Have 6+ years of professional software engineering experience
-
Have led the design and operation of distributed systems handling high-volume, mission-critical workloads
-
Think in terms of system behavior, failure modes, and long-term tradeoffs—not just features
