About The Role
Every model we run is only as good as the signal reaching it. You will own the real-time layer: ingestion, feature computation, and the contracts that keep the rest of the platform honest.
What you\'ll do
- Design and operate streaming pipelines (Kafka, Flink or equivalent) at enterprise volume.
- Own the online feature store: freshness, correctness, cost.
- Codify schemas and contracts across producers and consumers.
- Debug the hard, distributed, midnight kind of problems.
What we\'re looking for
- 5+ years in data engineering, with meaningful time on real-time systems.
- Fluency with Kafka/Flink/Spark Streaming and modern lakehouse tooling.
- Strong software engineering fundamentals, you write code others can rely on.
Nice to have
- Experience with feature stores (Feast, Tecton) in production.
- Comfort with Rust or Go for hot-path services.
