The Role
The MAX team drives a critical part of the platform that intersects both product and infrastructure spaces. The products we manage allow users to gain valuable insights into their data and make important decisions from those insights in ways that no other platform can. An immense data warehouse and query stack that we oversee powers these capabilities, and it analyzes some of the largest datasets that our enterprise customers can throw at us. Our horizon includes building predictive analysis tools, real-time decisioning engines, and agentic toolchains. We are biased for action, value, and succeed together in a highly collaborative environment. We are bullish on leveraging AI coding tools, such as Codex and Claude to accelerate our engineering capabilities.
