• Build and operate distributed data processing services using technologies such as Java, Python, Kafka, and related ecosystems.
• Design scalable, resilient, and high-performance data architectures.
• Develop and optimize data models for analytics, search, graph, and operational workloads.
• Deploy and manage applications across Kubernetes-based environments.
• Work with cloud-native services in AWS and/or GCP while supporting hybrid and on-premises deployments.
• Partner with customers, integration teams, and solution architects to deliver successful implementations.
• Monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize platform performance, reliability, and scalability.
• Contribute to infrastructure automation, CI/CD processes, and platform engineering initiatives.
• Ability to travel domestically and internationally as needed for customer engagements, workshops, and deployments.

Requirements
• 5+ years of experience in Data Engineering, Software Engineering, or Platform Engineering.
• Strong programming experience in Java and/or Python.
• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes and containerized applications (Docker).
• Experience working with AWS, GCP, or other public cloud platforms.
• Experience supporting or operating hybrid cloud and on-premises environments.
• Solid understanding of distributed systems and multithreaded applications.
• Experience with SQL and NoSQL databases.
• Experience building and operating production-grade data pipelines.
• Strong troubleshooting and operational skills.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

Nice to have:
• Experience designing and operating multi-cluster Kubernetes environments.
• Experience with data platforms deployed in highly regulated or air-gapped on-premises environments.
• Knowledge of networking, security, and cloud infrastructure best practices.
• Experience working directly with customer-facing engineering teams.
