  • Experience with streaming technologies such as Kafka, Flink, Spark Streaming, or similar tools.
  • Strong understanding of partitioning, watermarks, windowing, stateful/stateless processing, and delivery guarantees.
  • Experience building and operating systems in cloud environments such as Kubernetes, AWS, or GCP.
  • Nice to have: experience with ClickHouse, Arrow or other columnar data processing, or modern streaming SQL engines such as Materialize or RisingWave.
