As a Software Engineer, you’ll ship platform features that make streaming data safe, observable, and cost-efficient by default. You’ll collaborate with senior engineers on designs, own well-scoped components end-to-end, and help client teams adopt contracts + lineage through SDKs, agents, and operational playbooks.

Drive and maintain a culture of quality, innovation and experimentation.
Work with other teams, evangelize the platform, best-practices, data driven decisions, identify new use cases and features and drive adoption.
Contribute to internal SDKs/agents (Python/Scala/Java) that make adoption “drop-in.”
Basic Qualifications:
3 years of software engineering, ideally using a JVM language (Java, Kotlin, Scala is a big plus).
Knowledge and experience with distributed systems, their development, operations, observability
Practical AWS exposure (S3, IAM), and CI/CD familiarity.
