Meet Our Team:

As a platform engineering in the Asynchronous Messaging Services team (AMS) you'll be part of the larger Cloud Engineering group who’s responsible for building a truly global, self-service cloud platform (PaaS) to enable Global Tech’s growing number of engineering teams to build, deploy, run and operate their services in a fully autonomous fashion.

Roles & Responsibilities:

  • Your role will focus on leading the development efforts of the Kafka-as-a-Service platform on top of Confluent Cloud.
  • You will help drive technical decision-making, particularly regarding operations and the platform's architectural direction.
  • You’ll help solve problems related to building a global Kafka architecture considering scalability, replication, schema registries and self-service IaC workflows to solve for different use cases such as high traffic telemetry (logs & metrics), business critical events and data processing. 
  • As an expert in your area, you will help set the tone for how your team operates. You’ll emphasize modern, rigorous software development practices that emphasize testability, repeatability, and self-service automation.
  • You’ll conduct code reviews and mentor more junior developers. You’ll openly collaborate with other teams’ leads and help raise the bar of engineering excellence across the entire organization. 

What to Bring:

  • Bachelor’s degree with 9 – 13 years of experience as a software developer. You bring passion and enthusiasm to your engineering team. You have a track record of shipping quality code to production on a frequent and consistent basis. You thrive under minimal supervision with the ability to self-motivate and self-organize within the organizational structure. You have experience running production infrastructure that supports multiple systems in a scalable, stable, and performant manner. You measure everything, make decisions based on data, are consumer-obsessed, and take immense pride in your work. 
  • The ideal candidate for this role will have a wide breadth of experience across the entire software stack, as well as deep subject matter expertise in at least one technology from each of the following groups:
  • Operating Kafka at scale (we use Confluent Cloud) 
  • Cloud Infrastructure Automation (AWS strongly preferred with Terraform) 
  • Database design (e.g. Postgres, NoSQL, etc) 
  • Data Processing (e.g. Hadoop, Big Table, Spark, Redshift) 
  • Software Development: 
  • Distributed Systems Development (e.g. asynchronous communication patterns, consensus algorithms, distributed transactions) 
  • Programming (e.g. Go-lang, Java, Kotlin, Scala, Python, Ruby) 
  • Event Driven Architecture & Streaming Frameworks (e.g. Kafka Streams) 
  • Your Technical Know-How 
  • In addition, your technical expertise should match well to the following: 
  • Experience leading the development of large-scale projects, e.g. breaking down tasks, delegating work, assisting in the creation of roadmaps and work back plans  
  • Deep understanding of distributed systems in Kubernetes 
  • Hands-on experience with multiple IaC tools 
  • Experience with some of the frameworks and tools our development teams use day to day (i.e Spring Boot, Kafka Streams) 
  • Experience with the development and operation of high throughput, low-latency systems 
  • Hands-on experience with automating development workflow pipelines (CI/CD) 
  • Operational experience (i.e. on-call rotation, incident response) 
  • Ability to collaborate effectively with remote peers across disparate geographies and time zones 
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills with particular emphasis on technical documentation (including diagramming) 
  • Strong CS fundamentals 

What We Offer:

  • A Great Place to work.
  • Equal opportunity employer
  • Fast-track growth opportunities.
