Responsibilities

• Architect, build, and operate high-throughput, low-latency streaming pipelines for clickstream, transactional, and behavioral data using Kafka, Flink, Spark Structured Streaming, or Dataflow/Beam.
• Design stateful stream processing for sectorization, windowing, deduplication, enrichment, and late-arriving data handling.
• Design and implement robust data models for events, customer attributes, and derived features.
• Manage schema evolution, backward compatibility, and data contracts. Build scalable batch pipelines to support backfills, reprocessing, and historical precomputation aligned with real-time logic.
• Data Quality, Reliability & Operations
• RealTime CDP & Streaming
• Audience Building & Segmentation
• Customer Data Products & Quality
• Leadership & Delivery
• Cross Functional Collaboration
• Implement data quality checks (completeness, validity, timeliness), pipeline-level SLAs/SLOs, and end-to-end observability.
• Own production readiness including monitoring, alerting, capacity planning, and on-call support with SRE partners.
• Architect and scale real-time pipelines for clickstream, transactional, and behavioral data using Kafka, Flink, Spark Structured Streaming, or Dataflow/Beam.
• Design and evolve customer event models, session-inaction, and cross channel stitching to maintain a unified, channel stitching to maintain a unified, privacy aware customer view.
