📋 Description

• Investigation & Root Cause Analysis Own end-to-end investigation of ad-hoc technical issues raised by product, operations, or engineering teams. • Diagnose data integrity problems by tracing issues across event streams, APIs, and database layers. • Analyse Kafka event histories to reconstruct system state and identify where data diverged from expected behaviour. • Produce clear root cause analysis (RCA) documentation that explains what happened, why, and how to prevent recurrence. • Data Analysis & Resolution Write complex SQL queries against production and staging databases to investigate data anomalies, gaps, and inconsistencies. • Validate proposed fixes in lower environments before escalating to production resolution recommendations. • Use REST APIs to probe system state, trigger reprocessing workflows, and verify expected outputs. • Collaborate closely with software engineers to understand system internals and escalate findings with sufficient context for developers to act. • Produce concise, structured investigation reports suitable for both technical and non-technical audiences. • Maintain a knowledge base of known issues, recurring patterns, and resolution playbooks.

🎯 Requirements

• Solid background in software development - you should be able to think like a developer even if you are no longer writing production code. • Demonstrable experience investigating complex systems issues in a professional environment. • Strong analytical mindset with the ability to form and test hypotheses methodically. • Proficient in writing complex SQL, including multi-table joins, subqueries, window functions and aggregations. • Comfortable working with unfamiliar data models and reverse-engineering schemas without full documentation. • Experience working with relational databases (e.g. PostgreSQL, MySQL or similar) in a professional context. • Ability to reason about data consistency, referential integrity and the impact of partial failures on stored state. • Strong understanding of REST API design principles, including HTTP methods, status codes, request/response structures and authentication patterns. • Proficient with Postman or equivalent tools for constructing, executing and inspecting API requests. • Ability to read and understand Scala code (Functional and OO), particularly around data transformation logic, event handlers and domain models. • Highly curious, with a genuine interest in solving complex, ambiguous technical problems. • Strong collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively alongside software engineers, data teams and product stakeholders while adapting technical findings for different audiences.
