Keep a person's information usable and recoverable for years. You will build the storage foundations beneath their memory and files.
Not open yet: Pilot expansion
This work starts when that stage arrives, so there is no application to submit today and we will not pretend otherwise. What is written below is what the role is for and what would make somebody right for it, published early on purpose so you can decide whether it is worth watching.
The work
Design durable encrypted storage, snapshots, integrity checks, schema migration and conflict handling. Separate personal records from derived indexes and disposable caches. Work with cryptography and privacy engineers on backup keys, retention, deletion and restore behavior.
The milestone
In your first 90 days, demonstrate recovery from a damaged database and an interrupted upgrade, with documented recovery-point and recovery-time results.
Evidence
Bring experience with databases, filesystems or synchronization systems. Understand crash consistency, compaction, migration and how apparently successful backups can fail during restoration.
Evidence, not credentials. We are describing work you can point at, in whatever form it exists.
The exercise
Design a restore workflow that cannot silently reintroduce a previously deleted personal record.
