  Operational Engineering (OpEng) teams play a critical role in ensuring these streaming products and services run smoothly and efficiently at scale. Our specialized teams focus on areas such as Infrastructure and Cluster Management, Release and Development Processes, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), Operational Excellence, and Observability.
  
  Who You Are:
  
  The ideal candidate has a passion for technology. You likely have been a software developer in your past developing features for customers in either a customer facing application or backend service. However, during your tenure, you have found interest in serving your fellow software developers through innovative platforms, tools, services, and processes that help them be productive.
  
  You also have amazing skills that allow you to take requirements to produce scalable, reliable, and easy to understand architecture. Additionally, you are astute in taking an architectural design and performing a work breakdown for your team so that your team can deliver value each sprint. Lastly you are a mentor to your fellow software developers helping each person grow. You do this by being a role model within the team.
  
  What you'll do:
  
  As part of the Operational Engineering organization, you'll use software development skills to tackle data challenges and automate solutions. You'll expand our operational data capabilities and define how we provide developers and leaders with operational intelligence. By understanding our streaming services, you'll use your software architectural, infrastructure, data, and cloud expertise to optimize our technical ecosystem. You'll need to be deeply technical and collaborative. Experience with infrastructure-as-code, data pipelines, site reliability engineering, DevOps, and data lake management is desired. Strong systems knowledge and troubleshooting skills are also needed. The ideal candidate is a creative thinker, passionate about technology, and driven to innovate. They should demonstrate data-driven decision-making, curiosity, and a love for solving complex challenges.
