Improve performance of our pipeline — we currently process 10k messages/sec and are growing

Architect our services and pipelines so they work with minimum latency in all our locations around the world (U.S., E.U., Australia, South America)

Implement fraud detection processes with machine learning (Kafka and Kafka Streams)

Deploy services to multi-cloud Kubernetes environments to achieve 99.999% uptime

Push code to production multiple times a day

What we're looking for

Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or equivalent work experience

4+ years of experience with Java and its ecosystem of tooling

Experience with at least one of these databases: Cassandra, ClickHouse, or OpenSearch

Experience with AI tooling, or a strong willingness to learn

Nice to have
