  • Deep expertise in distributed data technologies such as Apache Kafka, Flink, and/or Pulsar
  • Strong background in event-driven architectures, streaming pipelines, and data lakes
  • Hands-on experience with AI/ML production systems, including prompt-based LLM integrations
  • Expert-level Java development skills, with a polyglot mindset (comfortable in Python, React, or other languages as needed)
  • Proven experience working in multi-team, global environments with strong collaboration and communication skills
  • Track record of delivering API-first infrastructures supporting high throughput and enterprise reliability
  • Knowledge of hybrid and cloud-agnostic infrastructures and their trade-offs
  • Familiarity with CI/CD, GitOps, and high-velocity release workflows

  • Thrive in API-first environments, bringing consistency and reliability across multiple products and teams
  • Can balance rapid prototyping and fast iteration with long-term sustainability and quality
  • Bring a polyglot mindset, matching the right technology to the challenge rather than defaulting to a single stack
