About the Team We are building our next-generation Data Enrichment Platform and we need a heavy hitter to help us scale. We aren't just moving data; we are building the real-time engine that powers our business. As a core member of our engineering team, you will architect high-throughput pipelines, solve complex latency challenges, and define the standards for a robust "Lakehouse" architecture. If you obsess over JVM internals, distributed consistency, and Exactly-Once semantics, this is the role for you. How You'll Make an Impact: Architect at Scale: Lead the design of distributed streaming architectures using Kafka Streams, Spark, and Flink. You will build the roadmap for our transition to a robust Lakehouse architecture. Performance Tuning: Dive deep into the system to identify bottlenecks. You will own the stability of pipelines processing massive events per second, solving for data integrity and low latency. Quality by Design: Set the engineering standard. You will drive a culture of reliability through robust monitoring (Datadog/Prometheus), observability, and automated testing frameworks. Modernization: proactively identify opportunities to refactor and modernize the platform for maximum efficiency and cost-effectiveness. The Must Have Skills: Veteran Engineer: 8+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 5 years of deep production expertise in Scala or Java (concurrency, memory management, GC tuning). Deep JVM knowledge required. Streaming Expert: 5+ years hands-on with the Kafka ecosystem. You understand offsets, partitions, rebalancing, and state stores intimately. Apache Kafka, Kafka Streams, Kafka Connect, Flink, Spark. Data Architect: You have a proven track record of designing systems that remain resilient under heavy load. You understand the trade-offs between consistency models and storage formats. AWS Native: Mastery of the AWS ecosystem (handling TBs of data) is second nature to you. AWS (MSK, EMR, Athena, Lambda), Terraform, Kubernetes. Why You’ll Love Working with Us? Work with cutting-edge technology in a collaborative, global team Competitive salary + good benefits (insurance, annual leave, bonuses, referral rewards, and more). We’re Great Place to Work Certified (4 years in a row!). Hybrid work model (3 days in office – Prestige Tech Pacific). Interview Process: Tech Round 1: Coding interview with our team. Tech Round 2: System design discussion. Hiring Manager Meeting: Team, values & culture check. Leadership: AI & Solution design discussion Final Round: Chat with HR/Senior Leadership.
