Desirable

• The API Team owns the "high semantics" modeling layer, which captures the shape and relationships between different parts of our customers’ data.
• The goal of this team is to support and guide our internal power users as they build seamless UI and efficient data systems. We work with tools like Golang, Kubernetes, GraphQL, and Postgres, as well as our temporal-relational query language, OPAL
• Build out the API and application platform that drives the rest of the Observe product (this includes our API servers, API designs, API authentication, application metadata, modeling layer, language compiler, and the infrastructure that our services run on)
• Develop GraphQL APIs that can be easily consumed by our user interface or through terraform
• Design shared infrastructure components that optimize for the developer experience, scalability, performance, reliability, and long-term maintainability
• Write robust unit tests that are quick, reliable, and allow our team to continuously deploy to our kubernetes service infrastructure
• Be a strong contributor to the product vision and team planning
• Some of the projects we might be tackling in the next six months:
• Migrating our metadata processing layer to in-RAM processing with database persistent backing
• Inventing a new API to efficiently serve slices of large datasets to browser
• Horizontally scaling our service infrastructure across Kubernetes nodes
• Building a distributed in-RAM messaging system for cache invalidation
• Implementing APIs to enable users to better model their data in the Observe UI
