Job Title: Data Engineer – Streaming & Real-Time Storage

Level: Intermediate / Senior
Employment Type: Full-time

Role Overview

We are seeking a Data Engineer to own and optimize the data infrastructure that powers our automation and AI ecosystem. You will be responsible for ensuring high-concurrency, low-latency data flow, maintaining data integrity, and designing storage strategies that support both real-time analytics and AI model outputs.

This role requires expertise in streaming architectures, database optimization, and system integration, with a focus on maintaining performance as data volume grows.

Key Responsibilities

Pipeline Optimization & Streaming

• Refine and manage Kafka stream consumers and producers for high-throughput, low-latency processing

• Ensure timely ingestion of data from RPA sources to storage and analytical sinks

• Monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize streaming pipelines for reliability and performance

Schema & Storage Design

• Optimize relational (MySQL) and non-relational storage strategies for high-write environments

• Design scalable schemas to support AI/ML outputs and downstream analytics

• Implement storage solutions that balance speed, reliability, and query efficiency

Data Governance & Quality

• Ensure data integrity, consistency, and quality across streaming pipelines

• Collaborate with data engineers and analysts to enforce standards and monitoring

• Implement validation and alerting mechanisms for real-time data

Scaling & Performance Strategy

• Design high-performance ingestion patterns to replace basic database inserts where needed

• Support infrastructure growth, ensuring the system scales with increasing data volumes

• Provide guidance on architectural improvements and optimization opportunities

Technical Requirements

• Streaming & Messaging: Expert knowledge of Kafka (Producers/Consumers, Connect, Schema Registry)

• Database Engineering: Strong SQL optimization skills; experience in write-heavy, high-concurrency environments

• System Integration: Experience building reliable connectors between distributed systems

• Familiarity with real-time storage patterns and high-availability architectures

• Experience monitoring and troubleshooting production data pipelines

Nice to Have

• Experience with NoSQL or in-memory databases (Redis, Cassandra, etc.)

• Knowledge of cloud-based streaming platforms (AWS Kinesis, GCP Pub/Sub, Azure Event Hubs)

• Exposure to MLOps pipelines or real-time AI deployment scenarios

• Familiarity with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)

Soft Skills

• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills

• Ability to operate in fast-paced, high-velocity environments

• Effective collaboration with data scientists, ML engineers, and operations teams

• Ownership mentality with a focus on performance, reliability, and scalability

Why Join

• Own the data backbone of a cutting-edge automation and AI ecosystem

• Shape high-performance streaming pipelines that directly power ML models

• Work in a fast-moving, innovative, and distributed environment with strong technical ownership
