Join as a hands-on StarRocks Engineer to architect and optimize large-scale deployments for real-time analytics. Responsibilities include schema modeling, performance tuning, incident resolution, and ensuring operational excellence in multi-tenant environments.
We are seeking a hands-on StarRocks Engineer to join our Developer Observability team. You will architect, operate, and optimize large-scale StarRocks deployments powering real-time analytics and observability dashboards. This role requires deep expertise in StarRocks internals, performance tuning, operational excellence, and integration with modern data pipelines.
Nice to Have
- Design, build, and maintain production-grade StarRocks clusters for high-volume, low-latency analytics workloads.
- Lead schema/data modeling for clickstream, dimensional, and time-series data, ensuring deduplication, upserts, and efficient partitioning.
- Optimize query performance using materialized views, indexes, and advanced StarRocks features (vectorization, pipeline execution).
- Diagnose and resolve high-severity incidents, leveraging logs, metrics, and profiling tools; implement permanent fixes and guardrails.
- Plan and execute capacity planning, scaling, and resource management for multi-tenant environments.
- Develop and enforce backup, disaster recovery, and upgrade strategies with minimal downtime.
- Implement security best practices: AuthN/AuthZ, encryption, auditing, and data masking.
- Collaborate with engineering and SRE teams to define SLOs, observability dashboards, and alerting for StarRocks infrastructure.
- Proven experience architecting and operating StarRocks (or similar OLAP) clusters at scale (10B+ events/day, TB-PB data).
- Deep understanding of StarRocks FE/BE architecture, storage engines, compaction, and cost-based optimizer.
- Expertise in schema design, partitioning, bucketing, and index/encoding strategies for hot/cold data tiers.
- Strong troubleshooting skills: root cause analysis, performance profiling, and incident response.
- Experience with ingestion pipelines (Kafka/Kinesis), exactly-once semantics, and CDC-based upserts.
- Familiarity with materialized view design, refresh policies, and query rewrite mechanics.
- Operational excellence: backup/restore, rolling upgrades, resource governance, and multi-tenant management.
- Security and compliance: LDAP/OIDC integration, RBAC, encryption, and sensitive data handling.
- Excellent communication skills; ability to diagram architectures and explain trade-offs to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Nice to Have
- Experience with other OLAP systems (ClickHouse, Druid, Pinot) and comparative benchmarking.
- Contributions to StarRocks open source or related communities.
- Cloud-native deployment experience (Kubernetes, autoscaling, infrastructure-as-code).

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
