* Build high-performance, distributed data pipelines and services
* Lead technical direction and ensure alignment with business needs
* Collaborate across teams using modern open-source tech (Kafka, FastAPI, Airflow, Spark, etc.)
* Mentor junior engineers and contribute to an inclusive team culture
You will need to have:
* Bachelor's in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
* Proven professional experience in an object-oriented programming language
* Deep background in distributed, high-volume, high-availability systems
* Fluency in AI development tools
We would love to see:
* Experience with big data ecosystems (Kafka, Spark, Flink, Cassandra, Redis, Airflow)
