Debug, maintain, and improve the Redis Datapath infrastructure, enhancing its ability to handle many thousands of databases with millions of requests per second.
Participate in various open-source projects that Redis maintains and/or contributes to.
Work closely with team members, product, DevOps, support, customer success, and other R&D teams.
