The Ingestion team owns the mission-critical systems that serve as the front door to the Treasure Data platform. These systems must handle billions of events per day , absorb bursty and unpredictable traffic, and evolve safely as customer needs and scale grow.
At this level, Ingestion is not just about throughput—it is about long-term platform correctness, cost control, and architectural simplicity at scale.
Responsibilities
-
Lead the design and evolution of large-scale ingestion architectures supporting multi-fold traffic growth
-
Own complex, cross-service initiatives that span multiple teams or domains
-
Anticipate scaling, reliability, and cost challenges before they impact customers
-
Set technical direction for major subsystems and influence broader platform architecture
-
Drive improvements in operational excellence, incident response, and system observability
-
Partner closely with engineering leadership, product, and customer-facing teams on strategic initiatives
-
Serve as a technical mentor and multiplier, elevating the skills and effectiveness of engineers across the organization
-
Participate in on-call rotations with a focus on systemic fixes rather than tactical responses
Requirements
-
Have 6+ years of professional software engineering experience
-
Have led the design and operation of distributed systems handling high-volume, mission-critical workloads
-
Think in terms of system behavior, failure modes, and long-term tradeoffs—not just features
-
Are comfortable making and defending architectural decisions with significant business impact
-
Communicate complex technical ideas clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
-
Are fluent in Kotlin/Java ecosystems and experienced with AWS-based architectures
-
Business-level English proficiency
Nice to haves
While not specifically required, tell us if you have any of the following.
-
Deep experience with large-scale streaming platforms or ingestion pipelines
-
Experience driving platform evolution through multiple generations of scale
-
Proven ability to reduce infrastructure cost while increasing reliability
-
Experience influencing technical direction beyond a single team
