It’s an exciting time to join us! We’re entering new markets, developing new technologies, and moving step by step towards our goal of exciting the world. As our business grows, the number of exciting people initiatives grows with it, and we’re looking for a new colleague to partner with our team to bring these to life.

We're looking for a Senior Data Platform Engineer to join our Storage Systems Tribe in the Messaging Squad.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced engineer to make a significant impact on our messaging architecture. In this role, you will be responsible for designing, building, and scaling our Kafka infrastructure to support hundreds of millions of messages a day. Your work will directly enable hundreds of engineers to build high-volume products that meet the demands of both customer-facing applications and internal data and analytics engineering use cases.

You will be working alongside engineering colleagues to create a robust messaging platform that serves as a critical foundation for our business operations and growth.

What You'll Do

• Design and scale our Kafka architecture. Build and maintain a high-performance messaging infrastructure capable of handling hundreds of millions of daily messages with reliability and efficiency.
• Develop SDKs and abstractions. Create intuitive interfaces that enable product and feature teams to easily integrate with our messaging platform without needing to understand the underlying complexity.
• Implement operational excellence. Establish monitoring, alerting, and performance optimization practices to ensure system reliability and scalability.
• Collaborate across teams. Work closely with platform framework teams to build common tools and abstractions that streamline usage and enhance monitoring capabilities.
• Drive architectural decisions. Make key technical decisions related to storage system provisioning, tuning, and scaling to support our growing business needs.
• Support data and analytics workflows. Ensure our messaging infrastructure effectively serves internal use cases related to data engineering and analytics.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of experience working with storage system provisioning, tuning, and scaling. Deep knowledge of distributed systems principles and their practical application.
• Proven experience with Kafka. Strong understanding of Kafka architecture, including brokers, topics, partitions, consumer groups, and replication. Experience with NATs, ActiveMQ, or related technologies is also acceptable.
• Experience developing developer experience capabilities. Track record of creating interfaces, SDKs, and abstractions that make complex systems accessible to product and feature teams.
• Proficiency with cloud-native technologies. Experience with Kubernetes, containerization, and cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• Solid programming skills. Proficiency in Java, Scala, Go, or other languages commonly used in distributed systems development.
• Knowledge of data integration patterns. Understanding of CDC (Change Data Capture), ETL/ELT workflows, and event-driven architectures.
• Impact-driven mindset. You prioritize what's good for the business and supporting product engineers over working with trendy technologies.
• Commitment to simplicity. You strive for creating solutions that are simple to use and maintain, avoiding unnecessary complexity.
• Excellent communication abilities. You can effectively collaborate with diverse engineering teams and explain complex technical concepts to various stakeholders.
