About the team

At Firebolt, the Metadata Service is central to the performance and reliability of our data warehouse. It makes Firebolt transactional and ensures atomicity, consistency and isolation of changes our customers make to their data or schemas. Each SQL query executed in Firebolt communicates with this service to guarantee consistent and correct results.

Firebolt is built to serve low-latency, data-intensive applications. To support these workloads, our Metadata layer is engineered for high performance. We aim for sub-millisecond latencies for common operations such as starting read-only transactions. The service can scale to thousands of queries per second for every customer.

The Metadata Team takes on the challenge of building and evolving this core service. We focus on scaling, maintaining high availability and reliability, developing new features, and – of course – making it even faster.
