Shape the backbone of a high-throughput event streaming platform that drives real-time messaging and personalization at scale, enabling product and data teams to deliver fast, reliable, and innovative customer experiences.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience architecting and supporting high-throughput distributed systems, particularly with event streaming or messaging platforms.
- Deep understanding of streaming frameworks such as Kafka, Flink, Pulsar, and/or Spark.
- Proficient in Java (Spring Boot) with strong knowledge of object-oriented design, data structures, and algorithms.
- Experience debugging across the stack, from message serialization and event schemas to network and JVM tuning.
- Familiarity with observability and developer tooling for streaming (tracing, metrics, replay), infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Helm), and Kubernetes (EKS) in cloud-native environments.
- Proven track record of modernizing platforms, moving from legacy systems to managed services, or implementing self-service capabilities.
Responsibilities
- Architect and evolve high-throughput, low-latency event streaming platforms to support real-time messaging, personalization, and data integration.
- Build and maintain self-service tools for event observability, debugging, load testing, and configuration management.
- Simplify and modernize streaming architecture, removing unnecessary layers and enabling flexible access for multiple use cases.
- Address complex distributed systems challenges, improving event delivery reliability, system efficiency, and scalability.
- Advocate best practices and guide technology selection for streaming infrastructure.
- Collaborate with product, data, and infrastructure teams to launch scalable, customer-facing features and integrations.
Other
- Strong problem-solving skills, pragmatic approach to technology adoption, and ability to influence cross-functional teams.
- Flexible remote work environment.
- Opportunities for professional development and career growth.
- Access to cutting-edge technology and innovative engineering projects.
- Generous paid time off and company holidays.
