Feldera is leading the incremental compute revolution with its award-winning platform that minimizes data processing waste by providing instant incremental updates. This innovative technology enables the processing of complex SQL pipelines and recursive graph analytics at unprecedented speeds, allowing organizations to achieve a remarkable reduction in time-to-insight and analytics costs. With the ability to compute millions of changes per second even on a laptop, Feldera empowers clients to transform their batch SQL jobs into live analytics without the need for rewrites, delivering substantial efficiency and cost savings.

📋 Description

• Own and evolve Feldera's input and output connectors for data lakes (Delta Lake, Iceberg), streaming systems (Kafka and the broader Kafka ecosystem), and databases (Postgres and other OLTP/OLAP stores). • Build robust CDC ingestion that turns upstream changes into correct, ordered, and consistent change streams into Feldera pipelines. • Design and improve the shared abstractions, APIs, and tooling that make authoring, testing, and operating connectors fast and consistent. • Work at the level of table formats (Parquet, Delta, Iceberg metadata), serialization formats (Avro, JSON, Protobuf), and wire protocols to integrate cleanly and efficiently with each system. • Ensure connectors are reliable and operate without data loss or duplication beyond stated guarantees. • Push connector throughput and latency to keep pace with demanding production workloads. • Debug complex distributed systems issues spanning Feldera and external systems in customer environments.

🎯 Requirements

• Strong proficiency in Rust, or strong systems-programming experience in a comparable language (C++, Go, Java/Scala) with a demonstrated ability to ramp quickly on Rust. • Experience building data integrations, connectors, or pipelines in production — moving data between storage systems, streaming platforms, or databases. • Hands-on experience with one or more of: Kafka, Delta Lake, Iceberg, Postgres, or comparable streaming/lakehouse/database systems. • Working knowledge of data serialization and table formats (e.g. Avro, Protobuf, JSON, Parquet). • Understanding of distributed-systems fundamentals: delivery semantics, ordering, checkpointing, and fault recovery. • Strong troubleshooting skills and the ability to debug complex issues across system boundaries. • Self-directed with excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively in a remote team.
