Staff Software Engineer (Scala) at BairesDev

We’re looking for a Staff Software Engineer with deep Scala expertise and a thorough understanding of distributed data processing systems from the inside out. You’ve moved beyond writing performant code — you define how stream and batch processing infrastructure is architected, and you have the cross-team influence to make those decisions stick. You’ll be contributing to open source data platform technology used by leading enterprises globally, in a role where your architectural thinking and technical leadership shape how the platform evolves.

What You’ll Do

• Lead the design and development of distributed data processing systems in Scala, focused on scalability and long-term reliability.
• Define technical direction for stream and batch processing infrastructure across engineering teams.
• Apply deep knowledge of distributed systems internals to guide architecture decisions and resolve complex challenges.
• Drive JVM performance strategy and optimization practices across the data platform.
• Collaborate with stakeholders and engineering teams to deliver impactful, lasting platform improvements.
• Mentor engineers and lead cross-team initiatives that raise the technical standard of the data platform.
  
  

What We Are Looking For

• 7+ years of experience in IT roles.
• 5+ years of experience with Scala as a primary language in distributed systems or data platform engineering.
• Expert knowledge of distributed systems architecture and large-scale data processing design.
• Deep experience with stream or batch processing internals and the frameworks that power them.
• Strong JVM performance expertise applied to production data processing systems.
• Apache ecosystem contribution experience is a plus.
• Demonstrated ability to lead cross-team technical initiatives and influence engineering direction.
• Advanced proficiency in English.

• Flexible hours: create your own schedule.
