About the role
Starburst is looking for strong Java engineers to work with our globally distributed engineering team on the core of Starburst's software. This role sits on the Control Plane team, whose mandate is to converge the control planes of our two flagship deployment models, self-managed Starburst Enterprise Platform (SEP) and fully managed Starburst Galaxy, into a single, unified platform. You will design and build backend services and cloud infrastructure that run in both worlds: multi-tenant SaaS at global scale, and customer-operated on-premise and air-gapped deployments. Both models bring unique and interesting problems, and incredible learning opportunities for any engineer. Starburst offers the opportunity to compete at global scale with other elite vendors in the Data Analytics space and external customers. The role can be based in Warsaw - Remote, Poland.

- Own the reliability, scalability, and efficiency (performance/$) of the services you build - provisioning and upgrading APIs, cluster lifecycle management, and the operational tooling that runs them.
- Build for two very different operating
