Job Description ## Description The Principal Streaming Data Architect will lead the real-time data streaming and processing architecture for our nationwide sensor detection platform. He/She will work with our engineering, product, compliance, and infrastructure teams in developing a stateful, low-latency stream processing engine capable of handling thousands of messages per second from distributed sensors. These real-time data pipelines will be used by our customers to monitor secure perimeters, track asset movements, and ensure public safety. * Assess our existing data ingestion and processing solutions (including Azure Event Hubs and Azure Databricks) and advise on the optimal stream processing frameworks to process high-velocity data efficiently and securely. * Use advanced distributed systems engineering to design and develop stateful stream processing applications that achieve sub-second deduplication of sensor broadcast messages across thousands of sensors. * Design and implement a robust schema registry and event-driven data modeling strategy to ensure consistency and high data quality across all sensor telemetry pipelines. * Build the technical data governance foundation within the streaming architecture, ensuring strict data lineage, metadata management, and auditability of data flows. * Collaborate with Data Science teams to operationalize and deploy real-time machine learning models (e.g., anomaly detection, predictive tracking) directly into the stream processing pipelines. * Develop processes and patterns to consume telemetry from ingestion layers while ensuring fault tolerance, zero data loss, and end-to-end latency from sensor to UI. * Partner with DevSecOps to ensure data-in-transit and in-memory state comply with strict CJIS, FIPS 140-3, and FedRAMP High standards. * Develop the technical skills of junior and mid-level team members by providing hands-on architecture reviews and mentorship. * Work directly with the geospatial data engineering and backend teams to design, implement, and validate pipelines that anonymize data in-stream and feed both real-time UIs and spatial databases. ## Related Videos - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [How to Avoid LLM Pitfalls - Mete Atamel and Guillaume Laforge](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1328-how-to-avoid-llm-pitfalls-mete-atamel-and-guillaume-laforge) - [DevSecOps: Injecting Security into Mobile CI/CD Pipelines](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/273-devsecops-injecting-security-into-mobile-ci-cd-pipelines) - [Car's are Technology on Wheels - Impact of Software and IT Competence in Automotive](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/780-car-s-are-technology-on-wheels-impact-of-software-and-it-competence-in-automotive) - [Nest.js - TypeScript in the backend can also be clean](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1033-nest-js-typescript-in-the-backend-can-also-be-clean) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [How software is steering vehicle technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/515-how-software-is-steering-vehicle-technology) - [Top Big Data Technologies That You Need to Know](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/108-top-big-data-technologies-that-you-need-to-know) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Developers are Building the Cities of the Future](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/536-developers-are-building-the-cities-of-the-future) - [Top-Paying Tech Jobs (with Salaries)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/372-top-paying-tech-jobs-with-salaries)
