Job-Zusammenfassung

Job-Technologien

Deine Rolle im Team

  • Design and build platform services, tools, and workflows for contract-driven data publishing and consumption.
  • Build the first production path for platform-managed PostgreSQL publishing tables, Debezium CDC, Kafka topics, and catalog registration.
  • Create GitOps-style workflows where contracts, schemas, ownership, lifecycle, compatibility, policy metadata, and runtime desired state are reviewed, validated, and reconciled as code.
  • Build tooling that gives product engineers fast feedback before they publish or change data products.
  • Help define how Smartly models data products, publishing contracts, schema evolution, field stability, deletion semantics, access policy, lineage, and cost attribution.
  • Operate and improve the CDC runtime model, including Kubernetes workloads, source-specific isolation, offsets, schema history, heartbeats, signal channels, lag visibility, replay, resnapshotting, and recovery.
  • Integrate platform metadata into DataHub so engineers can discover data products, understand ownership, trace lineage, and reason about the impact of changes.
  • Work with product, infrastructure, data engineering, analytics, and AI/ML teams to make the standard path easier and safer than bespoke point-to-point integrations.

Unsere Erwartungen an dich

Qualifikationen

  • Deep understanding of distributed systems trade-offs: reliability, idempotency, replay, eventual consistency, ownership boundaries, compatibility, and operational failure modes.
  • Familiarity with Kubernetes and cloud or infrastructure platforms, including runtime isolation, deployment, observability, and operational ownership.
  • Ability to turn ambiguous architectural direction into practical increments, make trade-offs explicit, and deliver useful production systems without waiting for perfect certainty.
  • Clear written and spoken communication in English. This role involves aligning multiple engineering teams around standards, contracts, and ownership boundaries.

Erfahrung

  • Strong experience building and operating production software systems, preferably in platform, infrastructure, backend, or data-intensive environments.
  • Practical experience with PostgreSQL or other relational databases, including schema design, migrations, transactions, replication, or operational performance.
  • Experience with Kafka, event streaming, CDC, Debezium, or adjacent data-movement technologies. Direct Debezium experience is valuable, but strong fundamentals matter more.
  • Experience building software that other engineers use: CLIs, internal platforms, control planes, automation, CI validation, developer tooling, or self-service workflows.

Unser Angebot

  • At Smartly, we offer a place where you can do meaningful technical work while growing with a global team.
  • Inclusive global culture built on trust, transparency, open feedback, and respect for different perspectives.
  • Global impact through technology used by major brands to plan, create, optimize, and understand digital advertising at scale.
  • Wellbeing support, paid holidays, family leave, and sustainable ways of working.
  • Equity options, performance-based rewards, competitive compensation, and career development opportunities.
  • A flexible hybrid workplace that balances office collaboration with focused remote work. At Smartly we work 3 days a week from the office.
