• Contributing to documentation, CI/CD processes, and production deployments.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience in Software Engineering with a focus on data systems.

• Knowledge ofstream processing concepts (event time, watermarks, windowing).

• Proficient in Java and NodeJS (Python is a plus).

• Familiar with OOP and functional programming.

• Skilled in SQL and experience with both relational and NoSQL databases.

• Hands-on experience with message queues (e.g., NATS, Pub/Sub).

• Comfortable with cloud-native environments (GCP, AWS, Azure) and containerization (Docker/Kubernetes).

• Solid understanding of DevOps, CI/CD, and testing practices.

• Excellent communication skills and ability to work in distributed teams.

• Degree in Computer Science or related field,or equivalent practical experience.

Bonus Points For:

• Familiarity with Apache Flink and/orSpark is a strong advantage!

• Experience with BigQuery, Redshift, or Snowflake.

• Knowledge of Helm, Istio, Jenkins, or Terraform.

• Monitoring and logging with Prometheus, Grafana.

• Understanding of GDPR/CCPA compliance

Why Join Us?
