The Mission

At Striim, we don't just move data; we move it as soon as it is born. Our platform handles GBs and TBs of data daily with sub-second latency. When an enterprise customer faces a technical bottleneck that prevents a "Go-Live," we don't just file a ticket-we deploy Ghost Ops.

We are looking for a Full-Stack Engineer to join this elite, high-visibility strike force. Your mission is simple: Identify the blocker, neutralize it, and ensure the data flows. You aren't building generic product features; you are performing surgical interventions on the front lines of real-time data integration.
The Role: "The Ghost Engineer"

As a member of Ghost Ops, you sit at the intersection of Core Engineering and High-Stakes Delivery. You are the technical "closer."

• Surgical Interventions: Dive deep into the existing mid-tier codebase to diagnose and repair bottlenecks or bugs stalling critical customer deployments.
• Extensibility via "Open Processor": Partner with Field Engineers to write custom, high-performance code within Striim's Open Processor framework, enabling bespoke data handling that transcends standard UI configurations.
• Rapid Deployment: Thrive in "war room" environments, refactoring mid-tier logic or API interfaces on the fly to integrate seamlessly with unique enterprise ecosystems.
• Technical "Bedside Manners": Maintain a calm, authoritative presence under pressure. You can explain a complex technical resolution to a customer stakeholder while simultaneously implementing the fix.
• No Feature Bloat: Your focus is on surgical precision-removing friction and hardening the platform, not adding to the general product roadmap.

Core Requirements

• Data Movement Pedigree: Prior experience at a company building data movement, replication, or streaming platforms (CDI/ETL/ELT). You understand the stakes of Change Data Capture (CDC).
• Full-Stack Mastery: You can navigate the entire stack-from React UI glitches to Java/backend API bottlenecks, down to complex SQL execution plans.
• The "Open Processor" Mindset: Expert at writing custom logic to extend platform capabilities for specific, high-scale use cases.
• Sub-Second Mentality: Deep understanding of high-concurrency, low-latency systems. You know how to move massive data volumes without breaking the latency budget.
• Direct Action Bias: You prioritize a working fix today over a theoretical discussion tomorrow.

Preferred Qualifications (The "Oracle Specialist")

While not a primary requirement, we have a high interest in candidates with deep knowledge of the Oracle ecosystem, specifically:

• Complex Architectures: Familiarity with CDBs (Container Databases), PDBs (Pluggable Databases), and Oracle DataGuard.
• Offloading Strategies: Experience using downstream Oracle instances to offload replication processing from primary databases.
• SQL Optimization: Advanced ability to interface with Oracle APIs and navigate highly complex, enterprise-grade setups.

Why Ghost Ops?

This is not a "back-office" engineering role. You are the elite force solving the hardest problems for the biggest companies in the world. When a multi-million dollar deal goes live, it will be because of your surgical precision. You make the friction disappear. You are Ghost Ops.

Benefits

• Role requires the candidate to be onsite at the Palo Alto HQ on a hybrid model (3X times a week)
• Competitive salary and pre-IPO stock options
• Comprehensive health care plans (medical, dental and vision), including medical and dependent FSA
• Paid Time Off (Vacation, Sick & Public Holidays)
• The chance to contribute to and shape an upbeat, fully engaged culture
