Description

About the Role

Join the core engineering team building and scaling the distributed systems behind a data activation platform. You will improve the systems that move customer data reliably and quickly, supporting a global customer base and a growing set of real-time use cases.

Responsibilities

  • Analyze and optimize the syncing pipeline to move large volumes of data to customer destinations more quickly.
  • Build toward real-time syncing and support streaming data sources such as webhooks and queues.
  • Identify scaling and reliability bottlenecks, then design systems to support substantial growth.
  • Develop low-latency caching capabilities on top of data warehouses for real-time personalization use cases.
  • Extend multi-region and multi-cloud infrastructure to support global availability and data residency needs.
  • Own projects from design through delivery and work directly with customers on complex scaling challenges.

Requirements

  • At least 7 years of software engineering experience, with strong hands-on depth in distributed systems and backend engineering.
  • Experience building and scaling complex, business-critical systems through significant growth, including event collection, data streaming, or data sync services.
  • Practical experience with message queues, Kafka, SQL databases, Kubernetes, and Docker.
  • Strong systems design fundamentals and an understanding of how large-scale distributed systems behave.
  • Experience moving very large data volumes, ideally at terabyte-per-day scale, and familiarity with infrastructure-level tools such as Spark, Flink, or Kafka.
  • Strong communication skills, ownership, and the ability to learn quickly in a high-growth environment.
  • Strong computer science fundamentals and a backend-focused background.
