• Design, implement, optimize, monitor

  • A low‑latency, high‑throughput data streaming and processing engine

  • Data processing pipeline (stream processing, batch processing)

  • … any other relevant code to catch fraudsters

• Collaborate with product managers, research, and other engineers to understand requirements and translate them into well-defined technical specification.

• Own end‑to‑end scalability, reliability, and performance of the platform, including capacity planning, benchmarking, and performance tuning

• Provide technical leadership: set standards, review critical designs and code, and mentor other engineers on distributed systems, streaming, and Rust.

• Ensure compliance with relevant data protection regulations and standards

Experience

• Experience with event‑driven and streaming architectures (asynchronous processing, message‑passing, backpressure, at‑least/at‑most/exactly‑once semantics)

• Experience designing, building and operating large-scale production systems (Peta or at least TB scale)
  (data storage with fault-tolerance, sharding, auto-scaling)

• Strong systems programming background:

  • Significant experience in Rust or comparable systems languages (C/C++, Go); willingness to become a Rust expert if not already.​

  • Experience also with at least one high‑level language (e.g., Python, Java, Kotlin, or similar) used for glue, services, or data tooling.

• Experience with building and operating distributed architecture (observability, ….)

  • Foundational algorithms/papers used in this space (map reduce, consensus, fault tolerance, synchronization, leader election, gossip …)

  • Message queues/buses (Kafka/NATS/….)

  • Observability (logs, telemetry, tracing, …)

  • Orchestration (kubernetes)
