About the position We are seeking a Senior Data Engineer to design and build high-performance real-time data platforms that power analytics, machine learning, and operational intelligence. This role focuses on streaming data pipelines, distributed processing, and large-scale event data systems. You will work on building and operating low-latency data pipelines using technologies such as Apache Flink, Apache Druid, Kafka, and modern data infrastructure, enabling real-time insights across large volumes of structured and unstructured data. This role requires strong experience in stream processing architectures, distributed systems, and scalable data infrastructure.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement real-time streaming data pipelines for high-volume event data.
• Develop and operate distributed data processing systems using technologies such as:

Apache Flink Apache Kafka Apache Druid

• Build scalable ingestion pipelines capable of handling millions of events per second.
• Design low-latency analytical data stores for operational dashboards and real-time analytics.
• Optimize data pipelines for performance, scalability, and fault tolerance.
• Work with product and analytics teams to translate business needs into real-time data models.
• Build and maintain data observability, monitoring, and reliability frameworks.
• Implement schema evolution and data quality controls across streaming pipelines.
• Contribute to data platform architecture decisions and infrastructure design.
