Your job is to make sure they have a fast, reliable, well-designed foundation and to treat their feedback as the signal for where the driver goes . * Own the Java client and JDBC driver end-to-end: roadmap, API design, performance, release engineering, and partner-facing support. You understand that API design compounds, and that a breaking change in a widely used library is a very different thing from a breaking change in an application. * Thoughtful, transparent use of modern AI development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or equivalents) combined with strong independent design and code review judgment. Most of our coordination happens in design docs, PR descriptions, and RFCs. * Genuine open-source disposition: comfort engaging with community issues, external contributors, and public design discussions. * Experience designing or evolving wire protocols, or contributing to a widely-used network client.
