Dear Hiring Manager,
I'm applying for the Data Engineer role on your Platform team. After 5 years building and operating data infrastructure for two high-growth startups, I've come to believe that great data engineering is mostly about reliability — pipelines that just don't break.
At my current company I own a Snowflake + dbt warehouse processing 4 TB/day, a Kafka streaming layer powering our recommendation system, and the on-call rotation that has held a 99.95% pipeline uptime for the past year.
I'm excited about your investment in real-time analytics and would love to contribute to that build-out.
I'd welcome the chance to talk further. Thanks for your time.
Sincerely,
Your Name
