• Proven experience building CDC pipelines and stream-based architectures with Kafka, Debezium, or AWS DMS.
• Familiarity with designing and managing data lakes or warehouses using S3 + Athena or Redshift.
• Track record of building and evolving multi-tenant data systems that maintain performance, isolation, and delivery guarantees.
• Strong knowledge of data security, encryption, access control, and compliance practices.
• Ability to implement and maintain observability systems that catch issues before users do.
• Clear communicator who thrives in remote-first, async teams.
• Must be based in Latin America and able to align with a US Central Time team schedule.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement separation of transactional and analytical workloads using Change Data Capture.
• Build secure pipelines with encryption, access controls, and data anonymization.
• Create batch and real-time streaming pipelines supporting schema evolution and multi-tenant scaling.
• Build async data delivery systems using webhooks, SQS, and Kinesis—no polling.
• Integrate into third-party APIs and internal services in an event-driven architecture.
• Balance cost, performance, latency, and flexibility with smart trade-offs.
• Implement observability: logging, metrics, and alerting for pipeline health and anomaly detection.

It’s a classic bottleneck: expensive, fragile, and increasingly unsustainable.We're re-architecting for scale and resilience. That means separating workloads, securing every data flow, and delivering the right data to the right place, reliably and in real-time. This role isn’t about BI dashboards or ad-hoc ETLs—it’s about designing and operating the systems that move and transform data at the infrastructure layer.You’ll be joining a team supporting a leading real estate operations platform—powering inspections, compliance, task scheduling, and risk mitigation for thousands of properties across the U.S. Your work will directly impact how on-site teams and regional managers make decisions in real time.## What You’ll Do* Design and implement the separation of transactional and analytical workloads using Change Data Capture without introducing risk or downtime* Build secure pipelines with full encryption, access controls, and data anonymization* Create batch and real-time streaming pipelines that support schema evolution, multi-tenant scaling, and high availability* Build async and push-based data delivery systems using webhooks, SQS, and Kinesis—no polling allowed* Integrate deeply into third-party APIs and internal services across an event-driven architecture* Make deliberate trade-offs between cost, performance, latency, and flexibility* Implement observability from day one, including logging, metrics, and alerting for pipeline health and anomaly detection## Tech Stack & Tools* ****Languages:**** Python, SQL* ****Data Streaming & CDC:**** Apache Kafka, Debezium, AWS DMS* ****Storage & Analytics:**** Amazon Redshift, Amazon S3 + Athena, AWS Glue, Apache Spark* ****Infrastructure & Monitoring:**** Terraform, AWS Lambda, Step Functions, Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch## What We’re Looking For* 5+ years in data engineering, platform engineering, or infrastructure roles at scale* Deep fluency in Python, with strong command of SQL and distributed data systems* Proven experience building CDC pipelines and stream-based architectures with Kafka, Debezium, or AWS DMS* Familiarity with designing and managing data lakes or warehouses using S3 + Athena or Redshift* Track record of building and evolving multi-tenant data systems that maintain performance, isolation, and delivery guarantees* Strong knowledge of data security, encryption, access control, and compliance practices* Ability to implement and maintain observability systems that catch issues before users do* Clear communicator who thrives in remote-first, async teams* Must be based in Latin America and able to align with a US Central Time team schedule## Nice to Have* Experience with Terraform, AWS CDK, or CloudFormation for infrastructure as code* Integrated with BI/reporting platforms like Metabase, Power BI, or Tableau* Experience designing event-driven systems with pub/sub architectures and schema registries* Background in performance tuning for Spark jobs, streaming consumers, or large-scale SQL queries* Startup experience—pragmatic, resourceful, and used to balancing speed with stability## What to Expect in the InterviewWe keep interviews practical and focused. You’ll walk through architecture-level challenges that reflect what you’ll be doing in this role. We’ll cover topics like:* Evaluating technology for scalability, performance, and flexibility* Strategies for safely decoupling production workloads under pressure* Building systems that support async delivery and schema variation* Designing for observability and pipeline resilience* Making performance-cost trade-offs that scale## If your idea of fun is making data systems secure, reliable, and invisible in all the best ways—let’s talk.## Apply for this roleSubmit interest for this 100% remote engineering role across Latin America.
