Senior Distributed Systems Engineer (Scala) at BairesDev

We’re looking for a Senior Distributed Systems Engineer (Scala) who understands the mechanics of how large-scale data processing systems actually work. You write Scala or Java, you’ve worked on stream or batch processing infrastructure, and you know how to reason about distributed systems under load. You’ll be contributing to open source data platform technology that leading enterprises rely on to process and move critical data — work that rewards both systems thinking and careful, detail-oriented engineering.

What You’ll Do:

• Design and implement distributed system components in Scala or Java for large-scale data processing infrastructure.
• Work on stream and batch processing systems, ensuring they move data reliably and efficiently at scale.
• Apply distributed systems principles to problems around fault tolerance, consistency, and throughput.
• Leverage JVM performance knowledge to diagnose and address processing bottlenecks in production.
• Collaborate with data and platform engineering teams to deliver distributed solutions that meet real-world requirements.
• Contribute to code reviews, engineering standards, and technical discussions across the team.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in IT roles.
• 3+ years of experience building distributed systems with Scala or Java as the primary language.
• Strong foundation in distributed data processing design and operation.
• Experience with stream or batch processing frameworks and large-scale pipeline infrastructure.
• Solid understanding of JVM performance fundamentals.
• Advanced proficiency in English.

Nice to have

• Open source contribution experience is a plus.
