• Oversee the design and deployment of a robust data processing pipeline, managing ingestion, transformation, and storage for high-volume use cases.
• Champion engineering excellence, continuous improvement, and agile methodologies across the product lifecycle.
• Act as a tech-business bridge, communicating complex ideas clearly to non-technical stakeholders and collaborating closely with the CEO and executive team.
• Foster a culture of curiosity, ownership, and proactive problem-solving across the tech team.
• 8+ years of experience as a Software Engineer, ideally in backend technologies (Java / Spring or PHP / Symfony preferred).

• Strong grasp of Cloud Native environments : Docker, Kubernetes, microservices, service mesh, infrastructure-as-code.
• Expertise in designing and scaling data architectures, including pipelines for stream / batch processing and data warehousing.
