  • Supporting and coordinating the planning and delivery of real-time streaming pipelines, focusing on high quality standards;
  • Translating business requirements into robust solutions in partnership with product, data engineering, and analytics teams;
  • Championing system performance, fault tolerance, and exactly-once semantics in streaming jobs;
  • Defining project goals, enforcing agile methodologies, improving development processes, and tracking delivery against KPIs/OKRs;
  • Evaluating and adopting new tools and technologies to strengthen the event-driven platform;
  • Maintaining clear and comprehensive documentation of system architecture and technical designs.

What Makes You a GR8 Fit:

  • 5+ years of experience in team leadership roles with a proven record of growing, motivating, and retaining talent;
  • Strong proficiency in Java;
  • Knowledge of and experience with Apache Kafka;
  • Enforcing high standards for testing, CI/CD, and release quality, with a background in QA or automation engineering;
  • Delivering complex projects on time, within scope, and aligned to business goals, with experience in project management or delivery coordination;
  • Communicating technical concepts clearly to both engineers and business stakeholders;
  • Fostering an inclusive, collaborative team culture with strong people orientation;
  • Demonstrating strong problem-solving, risk assessment, and decision-making abilities;
  • Applying familiarity with containerization, infrastructure-as-code, and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Upper-Intermediate English level. 

Will be a plus:

  • Experience with at least one stream processing framework (e.g., Flink, Kafka Streams, or equivalent);
  • Understanding distributed systems, data consistency models, and stream processing semantics.
