  • Expand production-ready ingestion paths to S3, GCS, and Apache Iceberg, including transformations, deduplication, and dead-letter queues.
  • Build modular connectors and abstractions for Kafka, BigQuery, S3, GCS, Iceberg, Flink, and other data stores.
  • Improve self-service platform usage through APIs, safe defaults, automated provisioning, documentation, onboarding, observability, and alerting.
  • Lead safe, incremental migrations from bespoke and legacy ingestion systems in partnership with Ads Data Platform, ML Indexing, and other teams.
  • Establish reliability, security, and operational practices for pipelines running across Kubernetes clusters.
  • Identify architectural and product-experience gaps and lead redesigns that improve developer velocity and platform scalability.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally on roadmaps and durable solutions across Infrastructure, Data Platform, Product, Ads, ML, Storage, and partner teams.
  • Mentor and guide backend and data infrastructure engineers.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of hands-on experience building internet-scale distributed systems, data infrastructure, or platforms used by other developers.

  • Experience designing APIs and platform abstractions, including schema evolution, Protocol Buffers, and gRPC.
  • Familiarity with Kubernetes and cloud-native platform concepts such as controllers, custom resources, workload identity, infrastructure automation, and multi-cluster deployments.
  • Strong understanding of observability and operational excellence, including metrics, logging, alerting, SLOs, incident response, data quality, and safe migration practices.
  • Ability to advocate for platform users and translate ambiguous customer and partner needs into scalable solutions.
  • Demonstrated technical leadership guiding teams through complex, cross-functional initiatives.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
  • Experience building low-code or self-service developer platforms, or curiosity to learn, is a strong plus.
