processing, Java, cloud infrastructure, and production-quality engineering practices.

What You'll do:

• Design and build backend data pipelines that ingest, validate, normalize, enrich, and store high-volume raw data from multiple

sources.

• Develop ETL/ELT workflows and processing jobs using technologies such as Apache Airflow, Apache Beam, Google Dataflow,

DataProc, Spark, Kafka, or Pub/Sub.

• Implement new features in Java-based services and data processing applications that support data acquisition at scale.

• Work with batch and streaming architectures for scheduled, near-real-time, and event-driven data flows.
