Hiring Team \\
Northwind Analytics \\
500 Market Street \\
San Francisco, CA 94105

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing to apply for the Software Engineer, Data Platform role. Over two internships
at Stripe and Capital One I have built services that move money and data reliably at scale,
and Northwind's work on self-serve analytics is exactly the kind of problem I want to spend
the next few years on.

At Stripe I designed an idempotency layer for the refunds API that eliminated more than
1,200 duplicate refunds a month, and I cut p95 latency on a dispute service by 70\% by
batching database reads. Outside of work I built Tessera, a Raft-based key-value store in
Rust, which taught me to reason carefully about failure modes before writing code.

I would welcome the chance to discuss how I can help your team ship a faster, more
trustworthy data platform. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely, \\
Jordan Lee
