Job expectations include liaising with vendors and working with stakeholders and Product and Software Engineering teams to implement data requirements, analyzing performance, and researching and troubleshooting issues within system engineering domains.
- Infrastructure Information Services is seeking a Senior Data Streaming Engineer to design and deliver a modern, real-time data platform supporting Infrastructure and ITSM domains. This role focuses on building scalable, low-latency data pipelines using event-driven architecture and stream processing technologies, while evolving legacy batch-oriented systems into a streaming-first ecosystem.
- The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in data engineering, stream processing, and data lakehouse architectures, with hands-on experience using Apache Flink, Confluent Kafka, and Apache Iceberg. This individual will help modernize data integration patterns, improve data freshness, and enable real-time analytics aligned with enterprise data management standards.
Responsibilities:
- Leads story refinement and delivery of requirements through the delivery lifecycle and assists team members in resolving technical complexities
- Codes complex solutions to integrate, clean, transform, and control data, builds processes supporting data transformation, data structures, metadata, data quality controls, dependency, and workload management, assembles complex data sets, and communicates required information for deployment
- Leads documentation of system requirements, collaborates with development teams to understand data requirements and feasibility, and leverages architectural components to develop client requirements
- Leads testing teams to develop test plans, contributes to existing test suites including integration, regression, and performance, analyzes test reports, identifies test issues and errors, and leads triage of underlying causes
- Leads work efforts with technology partners and stakeholders to close gaps in data management standards adherence, negotiates paths forward by thinking outside the box to identify and communicate solutions to complex problems, and leverages knowledge of information systems, techniques, and processes
- Leads complex information technology projects to ensure on-time delivery and adherence to release processes and risk management and defines and builds data pipelines to enable data-informed decision making
- Mentors Data Engineers to enable continuous development and monitors key performance indicators and internal controls
- Design and implement real-time data pipelines using Apache Flink and Confluent Kafka

- Build and optimize streaming ingestion, transformation, and enrichment pipelines
- Develop and maintain Iceberg-based data lakehouse tables to support both streaming and analytical workloads
- Ensure data quality, reconciliation, and consistency across streaming and batch systems
- Optimize performance of streaming jobs, including state management, checkpointing, and scalability
- Design efficient partitioning, schema evolution, and storage strategies using Iceberg
- Integrate data across multiple systems including ITSM platforms (e.g., ServiceNow)
- Collaborate with architecture and platform teams to establish best practices for streaming data frameworks
- Support CI/CD, deployment, and operational monitoring of streaming pipelines
Required Qualifications:
- 10+ years of IT experience with strong focus on data engineering
- 5+ years in data warehousing, data lakes, or MDM systems
- Strong experience with:
- Apache Flink (stream processing, event time, windowing, stateful processing)
