Position Overview
careerzynith is seeking experienced Distributed Systems Engineers (L4) to join our Data Platform team. This is a fully remote, full‑time role based in the United States (candidates must be located in any U.S. state). You will be part of a high‑performing, cross‑functional group that designs, builds, and operates the data foundations that enable careerzynith’s microservices to store, retrieve, and process data at massive scale.
In this role you will:
- Architect and implement highly available, low‑latency data services that serve billions of requests per day.
- Collaborate with product managers, TPMs, and other engineering teams to translate business requirements into robust technical solutions.
- Contribute to open‑source projects and share careerzynith’s innovations with the broader community.
- Drive performance optimizations, reliability improvements, and cost‑efficiency initiatives across the data stack.
- Mentor junior engineers and help shape the technical culture of the team.
Key Responsibilities
Data Platform Core Services
- Design and maintain a flexible query layer that delivers sub‑millisecond latency for a wide variety of data access patterns.
- Build and evolve distributed storage systems, ensuring durability, consistency, and scalability.
- Implement and refine data ingestion pipelines that handle petabyte‑scale ETL workloads, leveraging technologies such as Apache Flink, Presto/Trino, Druid, and Iceberg.
- Develop self‑service tooling that empowers other engineering teams to provision, monitor, and troubleshoot data resources without deep platform knowledge.
Collaboration & Leadership
- Partner with product owners to understand high‑impact use cases and translate them into platform capabilities.
- Work closely with security, reliability, and compliance teams to embed best‑in‑class practices into the data platform.
- Lead design reviews, conduct architecture workshops, and drive consensus across multiple engineering groups.
- Represent careerzynith at industry conferences, meetups, and open‑source communities, showcasing our engineering achievements.
Performance & Reliability
- Identify bottlenecks, conduct root‑cause analysis, and implement performance improvements that reduce query latency and increase throughput.
- Develop automated testing, monitoring, and alerting frameworks to ensure platform health and rapid incident response.
- Participate in on‑call rotations, providing expertise during critical incidents and driving post‑mortem actions.
Essential Qualifications
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field.
- Experience: Minimum 2 years of hands‑on experience building large‑scale distributed systems or data platform components.
- Programming Skills: Proficiency in Java and at least one additional language such as Python, Go, or Scala.
- Systems Knowledge: Deep understanding of distributed systems concepts—consensus algorithms, fault tolerance, data replication, and consistency models.
- Data Technologies: Experience with modern data processing frameworks (e.g., Flink, Spark), query engines (Presto/Trino, Druid), and columnar storage formats (Parquet, Iceberg).
- Problem‑Solving: Demonstrated ability to tackle ambiguous, high‑impact business problems with elegant, scalable solutions.
Preferred Qualifications
- Master’s degree or advanced coursework in distributed computing, databases, or related fields.
- Contributions to open‑source projects, especially within the data infrastructure ecosystem.
- Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and container orchestration (Kubernetes).
- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure‑as‑code (Terraform, CloudFormation), and observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, Jaeger).
- Strong communication skills, with the ability to convey complex technical concepts to non‑technical stakeholders.
Core Skills & Competencies
- Architectural Vision: Ability to design end‑to‑end data solutions that balance performance, reliability, and cost.
- Collaboration: Comfortable working in a matrixed environment, influencing peers across product, engineering, and operations.
- Continuous Learning: Passion for staying current with emerging data technologies and industry trends.
- Ownership: Proactive mindset—take responsibility for the full lifecycle of the services you build.
- Mentorship: Commitment to growing junior talent and fostering a culture of knowledge sharing.
