About the Team:

Firebolt’s Metadata Team is responsible for components within the data warehouse that provide metadata information for firebolt control & dataplane. Aside from “user data”, Firebolt keeps meta-information to make user data accessible and useful.

We're solving challenges around high scalability, concurrency and performance, like implementing distributed transactions and snapshot isolation.
