Qualification
Required
CDC & event-driven architecture expertise: Deep experience with tools like Debezium, Kafka, and Data Contracts in production environments
Strong data infrastructure skills: Comfortable with schema evolution, backfilling, pipeline reliability, and improving system-level data quality across a range of database paradigms (e.g. columnar, graph, and more)
Autonomous technical leadership: You can frame problems, propose solutions, and lead implementation without close supervision, and can do so effectively in a remote, async-first setting
Cross-functional collaboration: You love working closely with other engineering and data teams to align on goals and unblock dependencies
Clear written communication: You document your thinking (design notes, runbooks, specs) and share progress proactively in an async environment
Experience with our toolstack: Hands-on experience with modern data and platform tools like TypeScript services, Kafka, Debezium, cloud-managed databases (e.g. MySQL, MongoDB, Neo4j), GCP infrastructure, containerized services, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, and monitoring or alerting tools
Comfortable with asynchronous communication as the default, which means you have previous remote experience and are comfortable using tools like Slack, Loom, and Linear to communicate as needed
