Senior System Software Engineer

What you will be doing:

• Design, build, and operate reliable ETL/ELT and ingestion pipelines moving data from transactional systems into analytics/AI-ready platforms.
• Improve end-to-end data-lake foundations: storage layout, partitioning, schema evolution/versioning, lineage, cataloging, and delta synchronization.
• Build and operate event-driven data flows that power real-time integrations and AI agent orchestration.
• Help scale retrieval workflows (vector storage/indexing, embedding pipelines, RAG-adjacent data flows) that support production-grade AI capabilities.
• Strengthen reliability across services and pipelines: retries, backoff, DLQs, idempotency, reconciliation, and operational observability.
• Lead pragmatic modernization: reduce accidental coupling between business logic and infrastructure, improve contracts, and make systems easier to run locally and operate in production.
• Partner across Platform/AI/DevOps/Product; lead proof-of-concepts and translate results into durable platform capabilities.
• Participate in an on-call rotation and drive post-incident improvements (post-mortems, root cause analysis, and prevention).

You’re a great fit if you sound like one of these profiles

Profile A (most common): Backend/platform engineer who is strong in JVM distributed systems and has shipped real data workflows (Spark/EMR/Glue exposure).

Profile B: Data engineer who has built pipelines and is comfortable owning services, async messaging semantics, and production operations—not only transformations.

What you’ll bring:

• Strong software engineering fundamentals: designing maintainable, testable systems and owning features end-to-end.
• Production experience with distributed systems: async workflows, failure modes, retries, and eventual consistency.
• Hands-on experience building and owning ETL/ELT pipelines, including ingestion from OLTP sources into a data lake.
• Experience operating data systems in production: monitoring, incident response, and continuous improvement.
• Cloud experience on AWS building production systems (not just using services): storage + messaging + orchestration.
• Strong collaboration and communication; ability to mentor and raise engineering maturity through reviews and design discussions.
• Strong English language communication and collaboration skills

Strongly preferred (high-signal)

• JVM-first data processing experience (Java/Kotlin/Scala) with Spark-based workloads.
• Experience with schema evolution and data contracts (versioning strategies, backfills, compatibility).
• Operational ownership of pipeline reliability: replay safety, DLQ patterns, reconciliation, lineage thinking.
• IaC experience (CDK preferred; CloudFormation/Terraform acceptable).

The Tech Stack You’ll Work With:

• JVM services (Java 21+ / Spring microservices) and some Python.
• AWS: EKS, Lambda; storage/messaging/catalog primitives (S3, DynamoDB, SNS/SQS, Lake Formation, Glue Catalog).
• Search/retrieval: OpenSearch Serverless and related vector storage/retrieval components.
• Tooling: GitHub/GitHub Actions, Nx monorepo, Jira/Confluence.

Why this role exists

Caseware is evolving Caseware Cloud to deliver intelligent, data-driven experiences—powering analytics, automation, and AI/agentic capabilities on top of a modern data platform.

This role is for someone who can bridge transactional backend systems and data-intensive distributed workflows. You’ll work on systems that combine:

• APIs and domain services (microservices, relational modeling, service boundaries)
• Asynchronous workflows (messaging, retries, idempotency, replay safety)
• Distributed/batch data processing (Spark-based processing and lake patterns)
• Cloud platform primitives (AWS orchestration and managed services)
• AI-ready retrieval workflows (embedding + vector retrieval pipelines)

What success looks like (first 6–12 months)

• Improved reliability and operability of ingestion + async workflows (clearer idempotency/replay patterns, fewer recurring incidents).
• Cleaner boundaries between orchestration/control-plane concerns and data-processing execution concerns.
• Better observability across APIs, queues, workflows, and distributed jobs.
• Clearer data contracts and more predictable schema evolution practices.
• Tangible improvements in developer experience (local run, testing, reduced “environment-only” hacks).
