Collaborate with Product, Engineering, Analytics, and domain experts to translate requirements into scalable data solutions with measurable impact.

Participate in Agile delivery processes, including planning, estimation, reviews, and retrospectives, contributing to predictable and iterative delivery.

Continuously optimize performance, scalability, and cost efficiency across data pipelines, storage, and infrastructure.

Ensure security, privacy, and compliance standards are embedded in all data handling and processing workflows.

Data-focused software engineering background with production experience with stateful, large‑scale data systems.

Experience with streaming technologies such as Apache Kafka, Kafka Streams, and Apache Flink, as well as Avro and stateful data processing.

Programming experience in Java, Scala, Python, or similar (language flexible)

Strong understanding of distributed, event‑driven architectures

Strong debugging and performance optimization skills in data-intensive systems

Ownership, accountability, and a proactive, execution-focused mindset with strong pragmatic problem-solving.
