TL;DR

Join our dynamic team as a Staff Software Engineer where you will leverage your expertise in Java, C#, or other object-oriented languages to build robust end-to-end solutions spanning front-end frameworks like Flutter and Angular through API tiers and back-end services. With 12+ years of experience, including at least three years at the principal level, you will architect and own system-of-record decisions for critical business processes, utilizing technologies such as Apache Kafka, Flink, and NoSQL databases. Your responsibilities include optimizing streaming data systems, managing real-time operational data repositories, and implementing distributed-systems fundamentals to ensure high consistency, durability, and low latency. Fluency in DevOps concepts and cloud architecture is essential, as you will work on large-scale projects that require deep understanding of production storage solutions like Cassandra or graph databases.
