📋 Description

• Engineer distributed ingestion services that reliably pull data from diverse sources, handle messy real-world edge cases, and deliver clean, well-structured outputs to multiple downstream products. • Build high-throughput processing components (batch and/or near-real-time) with a focus on performance, scalability, and predictable cost, using strong profiling and measurement practices. • Design and evolve data contracts (schemas, validation rules, versioning, backward compatibility) so downstream teams can build with confidence. • Own production quality: write maintainable code, strong unit/integration tests, and add the observability you need (metrics/logs/tracing) to diagnose issues quickly. • Improve platform reliability by hardening pipelines against partial failures, retries, rate limits, data drift, and infrastructure issues—then codify those learnings into better tooling and guardrails. • Contribute to CI/CD and developer experience: faster builds, better test signal, safer releases, and automated operational checks. • Participate in design reviews, code reviews, incident retrospectives, and iterative delivery—making pragmatic trade-offs and documenting them clearly.

🎯 Requirements

• 2+ years building and operating production software systems • Fluency in at least one programming language (Python/Node.js a plus) • Experience debugging moderately complex systems and improving reliability/performance • Strong fundamentals: data structures, testing, version control, Linux basics • Spark/PySpark experience • Hadoop ecosystem exposure (HDFS/HBase) • Workflow orchestration (Airflow/Dagster/NiFi) • Search/indexing (OpenSearch, MongoDB) • Kubernetes and infrastructure-as-code • Degree in Computer Science or numerical degree
