Software Engineer - Data Acquisition Team

store large raw data sets from a wide range of sources. You will work across distributed processing, workflow orchestration, Architect resilient ETL/ELT workflows for batch, streaming, scheduled, and event-driven data processing.

• Develop production Java services and data processing applications for ingestion, orchestration, enrichment, deduplication, and

delivery.

• Build and improve systems using technologies such as Apache Airflow, Apache Beam, Spark, Google Dataflow, DataProc, Kafka,

and Pub/Sub.

• Define practical approaches for schema evolution, data contracts, data validation, backfills, replayability, and idempotent

processing.

• Improve reliability, performance, scalability, and cost efficiency across data acquisition pipelines and services.

• Implement observability, monitoring, and alerting for pipeline health, throughput, latency, failure rates, and data quality metrics.

• Work with product, data science, platform, and data quality teams to translate business needs into production-ready systems.

• Contribute to technical designs, implementation plans, and system modernization efforts across Data Acquisition.

This is a senior individual-contributor engineering role focused on technical depth, production execution, and high-quality data

systems. The right candidate brings strong backend engineering fundamentals, significant pipeline experience, and the ability to

turn complex data acquisition requirements into scalable systems., 5+ years of professional software engineering experience with a strong focus on backend systems, data engineering, or distributed

processing.

• Proven experience building and operating production data pipelines at scale.

• Deep proficiency with Java and object-oriented design.

• Hands-on expertise with data processing and orchestration technologies such as Apache Beam, Apache Airflow, Spark, Google

Dataflow, or DataProc.

• Strong experience with streaming systems such as Apache Kafka, Google Pub/Sub, or similar technologies.

• Strong understanding of batch processing, streaming processing, data modeling, schema evolution, and data quality

management.
