We’re looking for a Senior Distributed Systems Engineer who understands the mechanics of how large‑scale data processing systems actually work. You write Java or Scala, you’ve worked on stream or batch processing infrastructure, and you know how to reason about what happens when distributed systems are under load. You’ll be contributing to open source data platform technology that leading enterprises rely on to process and move critical data — work that rewards both systems thinking and careful engineering.

What You’ll Do:

• Design and implement distributed system components in Java or Scala for large-scale data processing infrastructure.
• Work on stream and batch processing systems, ensuring they move data reliably and efficiently at scale.
• Apply distributed systems principles to solve problems around fault tolerance, consistency, and throughput.
• Leverage JVM performance knowledge to diagnose and address processing bottlenecks in production.
• Collaborate with data and platform engineering teams to deliver distributed solutions that meet real-world requirements.
• Contribute to code reviews, engineering standards, and technical discussions across the team.

What We Are Looking For:

• 5+ years of experience in IT roles.
• 3+ years of experience building distributed systems with Java or Scala as the primary language.
• Strong foundation in distributed data processing design and operation.
• Experience with stream or batch processing frameworks and large-scale pipeline infrastructure.
• Solid understanding of JVM performance fundamentals.
• Open source contribution experience is a plus.
• Advanced proficiency in English.

How we do make your work (and your life) easier:

• Remote Work.
• Excellent compensation in USD or your local currency if preferred.
• Hardware and software setup for you to work from home.
• Flexible hours: create your own schedule.
• Paid parental leaves, vacations, and national holidays.
• Innovative and multicultural work environment: collaborate and learn from the global Top 1% of talent.
• Supportive environment with mentorship, promotions, skill development, and diverse growth opportunities.

Join a global team where your unique talents can truly thrive and make a significant impact!
