How we know
It hasn't been reposted, listed twice, or left up unusually long, and the posting doesn't say it's a talent pool.
Ghostless records the day it first sees a posting, so a repost can't reset its age. This one was already up when Ghostless started tracking Cogent Security, so its true age is longer.

What You'll Do
- Standardize backup, restore, retention, and encryption policies across Aurora / RDS, Clickhouse, and MSK
- Build storage observability dashboards for capacity, performance, replication, lag, and cost
- Create a Storage Operations Agent for incident triage, slow-query investigation, and remediation workflows
What We're Looking For
- Deep experience with data stores: Aurora RDS, Clickhouse, Kafka / AWS MSK, and Postgres
- Experience with table formats and lakehouse patterns, including Iceberg
- Strong coding in Python and Golang
- Infrastructure-as-code skills with Terraform
- 3-6 years at a successful tech company (Senior, Staff+)
Bonus Points
- 1-2 years at a data-focused startup (Databricks, Snowflake)
- Object and analytical storage experience: S3, GCS, Google BigQuery, AWS Athena, Presto, Parquet
- Vector and graph stores: VectorDB, Turbopuffer, Puppygraph
- A secondary spike in Observability Infrastructure
