About the role

Role focused on building and operating the Streaming Platform infrastructure (Kafka, streaming runtime, APIs, and developer-facing abstractions) to support real-time data ingestion, processing, and delivery at scale with high reliability and low latency.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and operate components of our Streaming Platform, including Kafka, the streaming runtime, high-level APIs, and developer-facing abstractions.
  • Implement resilient, high-throughput stream processing systems that handle unbounded datasets with strong correctness guarantees (delivery, checkpointing, watermarking, and more).
  • Build scalable automation and control plane for Kafka fleet management and improve efficiency.
  • Partner with product engineers to ensure our abstractions enable fast, reliable, and consistent ingestion pipelines.
  • Improve observability, monitoring, and failover for mission-critical real-time systems.

Qualifications

  • At least 2-3 years of software engineering experience, with background in distributed systems, data infrastructure, or real-time streaming.
  • Proficiency in a programming language such as Python, Rust, Go, or Java (we primarily use Python and Rust, but experience in similar languages is valuable).
  • Experience building and operating systems in cloud environments such as Kubernetes, AWS, or GCP.
  • Nice to have: experience with streaming technologies such as Kafka, Flink, Spark Streaming, or similar tools.
