Company Description
Job Description
Good decision-making is only possible when you have all the data available, along with the right tools and systems to process and analyze that data.

Improve operations and tooling around Kafka, leveraging open source software as appropriate to ensure we can continue to scale.
Modernize the application event logging infrastructure, and move it to a streaming architecture.
Build out new data management capabilities like granular data access, more sophisticated data security policies, and improving data discovery and documentation and overall data governance.
Mentor fellow teammates in different ways: implementation and code review, architecture and design, devops and operational best practices, and in any other way where you have interest and expertise.
Be self-driven in identifying and documenting feature gaps, and designing and implementing solutions to them.
