• Guide the development of reliable data ingestion and change data capture (CDC) systems, including schema evolution, ordering, replay, and failure recovery

• Drive technical decisions around data storage, lakehouse architectures, analytical databases, and data access patterns based on performance, scalability, and cost

• Remain hands-on through architecture reviews, technical prototyping, critical implementation, production debugging, and performance optimization

• Improve platform reliability, observability, data quality, and operational readiness across real-time and analytical workloads

• Mentor Senior and Staff Engineers, establish engineering standards, and partner with technical leadership on platform modernization and long-term architecture decisions

• 10+ years of software engineering experience building production backend systems, distributed systems, or large-scale data platforms

• Experience leading architecture and technical delivery of data platform initiatives spanning multiple engineering teams or services

• Experience designing and operating production event-streaming or distributed processing systems using Kafka, Flink, Spark Structured Streaming, or similar technologies

• Experience designing production data ingestion, CDC, or distributed processing systems, including handling schema evolution, retries, ordering, replay, and failure recovery

• Experience developing and operating cloud-based data platforms on AWS, Azure, or GCP using Java, Go, Python, Scala, Rust, or similar programming languages

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Apache Kafka, Confluent, Apache Flink, Kafka Streams, or other stateful stream-processing technologies

• Experience with CDC technologies such as Debezium, Kafka Connect, or database replication frameworks

• Experience with lakehouse architectures and technologies such as Apache Iceberg, Delta Lake, Hudi, or Amazon S3

• Experience with analytical databases and query engines such as ClickHouse, Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Pinot, or Druid

• Experience with data governance, schema registries, data contracts, lineage, metadata management, or data quality frameworks
