## About the role

In this role, you'll design and build high-throughput, low-latency data processing pipelines that power reporting used by internal teams and external customers. You'll operate at the intersection of distributed systems, stream processing, and cloud-native infrastructure — ensuring correctness, reliability, and scalability in a high-volume production environment.

## What they're looking for

- Strong foundation in distributed systems and systems design
- Hands-on experience building and operating large-scale data processing systems
- Deep understanding of streaming concepts: exactly-once semantics, watermarking and event-time processing, stateful stream processing, checkpointing and recovery, and backpressure handling
- Production experience with frameworks such as Apache Flink, Spark, Kafka, or similar technologies
- Proficiency in Python, Java, or Scala
- Experience with workflow orchestration tools such as Airflow for stream and batch coordination
