Chime is hiring a Staff Software Engineer - Event Sourcing/Stream Processing - Kafka

Practicebetter is hiring a Staff Software Engineer to join Tenable's VM Platform team, which sits at the center of the Tenable One architecture. You will be responsible for building and maintaining high-throughput, event-driven pipelines that process massive volumes of asset and vulnerability data, solving complex big data problems at scale.

What You'll Do

• Build and maintain high-throughput, event-driven pipelines responsible for processing the history of assets and vulnerabilities.
• Design systems that handle massive scale to ensure data is accurate and available in real-time.
• Work on complex data processing challenges, designing logic to collapse millions of incoming findings into a single, accurate state record.
• Architect for scale by transitioning systems to a new architecture designed to be faster, cheaper, and more reliable.
• Own your stack (DevOps) by using Terraform and Datadog to deploy, monitor, and ensure the health of services in production.

What We're Looking For

• 8+ years of Backend Engineering experience with a focus on high-volume data processing or distributed systems.
• Strong JVM Proficiency: Deep experience with Java, Kotlin, required. Must understand memory management and performance within the JVM ecosystem.
• Stream Processing Architecture: Proven experience with Kafka (ideally), AWS Kinesis, et al. Must understand topics, partitions, and how to process streams of data asynchronously.
• Distributed Systems Knowledge: Must understand the challenges of microservices, eventual consistency, and data resiliency.
• Stateful Processing Logic: Experience calculating 'state' from a history of events. Must understand how to take a stream of raw data and 'collapse' it into a current status.
• DevOps Mindset: Hands-on experience with Terraform for infrastructure-as-code and observability tools like Datadog to monitor metrics and graphs.
• Database Experience: Proficiency with SQL and NoSQL data stores (PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, or similar) to store and retrieve state data.
• Experience with Event Sourcing or CQRS patterns.
• Must meet one of the following location criteria: Hybrid with ability to commute to Columbia, MD/Northern VA office; Hybrid with ability to commute to Boston, MA office; Remote while currently residing in the San Francisco Bay Area, CA.
