About the role

About the Role

Join the core systems team building and improving the distributed infrastructure behind a data activation platform. You will help move large volumes of customer data reliably and quickly, while supporting global deployments and real-time use cases.

What You'll Do

  • Optimize the end-to-end syncing process to improve throughput and reduce sync times.
  • Design systems for streaming data and real-time syncs from sources such as webhooks and queues.
  • Identify scaling and reliability bottlenecks, then architect solutions for continued growth.
  • Build and improve low-latency caching and personalization systems backed by data warehouses.
  • Extend multi-region and multi-cloud infrastructure to support global deployments and data residency needs.
  • Own projects from design through delivery and work directly with customers on complex scaling challenges.

What We're Looking For

  • At least 7 years of software engineering experience, focused on backend systems and distributed systems.
  • Experience building and scaling complex, business-critical backend systems through significant growth.
  • Strong systems design fundamentals and understanding of large-scale distributed systems.
  • Experience with event collection or data streaming services, message queues, Kafka, SQL databases, Kubernetes, and Docker.
  • Ability to work close to the infrastructure layer, with familiarity with technologies such as Spark, Flink, and Kafka.
  • Strong communication skills, sound technical judgment, and a willingness to take ownership in a fast-moving environment.
  • Strong computer science fundamentals and a background primarily in backend engineering rather than data engineering or DevOps.
