Senior Software Engineer to lead design and implementation of our business-critical data platform

High autonomy role, embedded in a team of senior software and data engineers, collaborating on the data platform problem and solution space

  • Identify reliability concerns and opportunities for improvement

What we're looking for

  • Strong software engineering fundamentals, and experience applying them within data engineering
  • Expertise working with data streaming technologies such as Kafka and Flink
  • Autonomous and effective in a team setting
  • Experience working with non-technical stakeholders and translating their needs to technical requirements for team-wide delivery

Additional information

  • Relocation support is not available for this position
  • Work visa/immigration sponsorship is not available for this position
