Description

We are seeking an expert Data/Backend Infrastructure Engineer with strong distributed systems experience, large-scale data processing, cloud-native architecture, data lake/table formats, query engines, and production systems engineering.

Requirements

• 8+ years of software development experience, including experience working on complex backend, distributed systems, data infrastructure, or data-intensive projects.
• Proven experience designing and developing scalable backend platforms, distributed services, query engines, data-processing systems, or infrastructure components handling large volumes of data or high-throughput workloads.
• Strong hands-on experience with Scala, Java, or another JVM-based language, with the ability to work effectively in Scala-based production codebases.
• Hands-on experience with Apache Spark, preferably with Scala, for large-scale distributed data processing.
• Experience building or working with distributed query engines, SQL engines, or data access/query platforms, such as Trino, Presto, Spark SQL, Hive, or similar technologies.
• Hands-on experience with modern data lake and table formats, such as Apache Iceberg, Delta Lake, Apache Hudi, or similar technologies.
• Strong understanding of data lake architecture, including table formats, partitioning, schema evolution, snapshots, versioning/time travel, data consistency, transactions, and compaction.
• Experience working with large-scale production data platforms, including environments with large numbers of tables, partitions, or high-volume data processing workloads.
• Deep understanding of distributed systems, data processing, storage engines, or data infrastructure, including scalability, fault tolerance, concurrency, and performance optimization.
• Experience developing and troubleshooting high-throughput, low-latency, production-grade systems. The role is primarily focused on backend, distributed systems, data infrastructure, and system-level engineering rather than full-stack application development.
  
  
  

Job responsibilities

• Architect & Build: Lead the architecture, design, and implementation of highly scalable, complex backend systems and robust data infrastructure using Scala.
• Data Lake Engineering: Design and manage enterprise-grade data lake solutions leveraging Apache Iceberg or equivalent table formats, ensuring optimal data consistency, transactions, schema evolution, partitioning, and compaction.
• Performance Optimization: Maximize system throughput, minimize latency, and optimize resource utilization across large-scale distributed data processing systems.
• Production Excellence: Systematically diagnose, troubleshoot, and resolve complex, high-impact production and customer-facing infrastructure issues.
• Codebase Modernization: Champion the gradual improvement and modernization of a mature, production-critical codebase without causing disruption to active customers or services.
• Technical Leadership & Collaboration: Act as a technical authority, fostering strong communication and collaboration across engineering teams to align on technical objectives.
• Navigate Ambiguity: Exercise a strong ownership mindset to operate effectively and deliver high-quality outcomes in areas with limited documentation or historical knowledge.
