Summary from the posting
Dremio's Query Planner & Reflections team owns the SQL planner and optimizer, built on Apache Calcite, and the reflections engine that transparently rewrites queries to use pre-computed materializations instead of raw source data. The team sits between SQL and execution, owning the systems that turn queries into efficient plans and make them fast.
As a Senior Staff Software Engineer, you'll set technical direction for these systems: driving ambiguous, cross-team initiatives, raising the bar through design and code review, and growing other senior engineers. Your work will directly affect query performance, correctness, and cost across Dremio's cloud data platform.
This is a short summary. The full description, requirements and the application form are on Dremio's own career page.
