About the Team: 

The Applications engineering team is in charge of Applications such as ThirdEye and Data Manager (to name a few) that allow customers to leverage fast, fresh and actionable insights from Apache Pinot. 

StarTree ThirdEye is an anomaly detection platform that allows organizations to monitor critical Business KPIs in a real-time fashion, and detect any anomalies automatically. StarTree Data Manager enables StarTree users to go from registration to first query within a matter of minutes. 

There are more such applications currently in the works.

The charter for the team includes all phases of the application lifecycle from ideation to delivery. The team is in charge of not just frontend and backend but also monetization and growth charter for every application. Additionally, the Applications engineering team is also building an application infrastructure platform that StarTree customers can leverage to build applications themselves.

• Evaluate and analyze requirements from product owners and coordinate with stakeholders to effectively drive execution from ideation to delivery.
• Interact with the internal/external customers to identify and influence product roadmap.

What we’re looking for:

• 8+ years experience building, deploying, and maintaining large-scale cloud services that can handle high volumes of data and traffic.
• Strong fundamentals in distributed systems design and development. 
• Solid fundamentals in concurrent and multi-threading programming. 
• Ability to anticipate future technical needs for the product and craft plans to realize them.
• A self starter with the ability to work effectively in teams
• A great track record of shipping features and hitting deadlines consistently.
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional stakeholders including but not limited to product managers, front-end engineers, and data scientists.
