Our platform empowers millions of buyers and sellers in more than 190 markets around the world. We’re committed to pushing boundaries and leaving our mark as we reinvent the future of ecommerce for enthusiasts.\nOur customers are our compass, authenticity thrives, bold ideas are welcome, and everyone can bring their unique selves to work - every day. We're in this together, sustaining the future of our customers, our company, and our planet.\nJoin a team of passionate thinkers, innovators, and dreamers - and help us connect people and build communities to create economic opportunity for all.\nAbout eBay\neBay is a global commerce leader that connects millions of buyers and sellers around the world. We empower people and create economic opportunities for individuals, businesses, and communities. We're driven by a vision to create a more sustainable form of commerce that benefits the environment and society as a whole. Join us as we continue to innovate and shape the future of e-commerce.\nJob Description:\nCloud Data Technologies (CDT) team at eBay is responsible for all the data platform, infrastructure and management of end-to-end data lifecycle for all eBay data from eBay products to analytics use cases. We are seeking a Software Engineer passionate about data-driven technologies and architectures.\nAbout the Role\nWe are looking for Sr MTS Software Engineers to join the Golden Data Sets (GDS) Platform team within eBay's Core Data Platform organization.\nThe problem we're solving is significant: eBay currently manages over ten thousands of loosely defined datasets with fragmented pipeline implementations, resulting in widespread data duplication, redundant compute, and runaway operational costs. The GDS Platform addresses this by building a fully declarative data platform - one that accepts dataset specifications, maintains a comprehensive view of the total data flow graph, and automatically produces optimized pipelines to systematically eliminate these inefficiencies at scale.\nAs an engineer on this team, you will contribute to the systems that power this platform - from computation graph management to pipeline optimization and dataset lifecycle. Your work will directly reduce operational waste across eBay's data infrastructure.\nNote: This is a Data Platform Engineering role. Familiarity with Spark, Flink, and the Hadoop ecosystem is useful context, but your primary responsibility is building the platform itself - not authoring pipelines.\nWhat you’ll do and learn\nOwn and deliver major components of eBay’s Data Platforms - from design through production rollout.\n\nDesign and evolve distributed systems powering ingestion, streaming, lakehouse/warehouse, catalog, and governance.\n\nContribute to long-term architecture through design reviews and authoring architecture design documents, ensuring scalability and resilience.\n\nBuild systems that balance latency at large scale, correctness, and cost while ensuring security and compliance.\n\nDrive operational excellence for services you own, including observability and incident response.\n\nCollaborate across product, infra, and analytics teams to align execution with business needs.\n\nWhat you bring\nExperience designing large-scale distributed systems (compute, storage, APIs, streaming).\n\nAbility to independently deliver complex projects from requirements to production.\n\nSystems thinker who anticipates bottlenecks, schema evolution, and reliability issues.\n\nStrong communication skills to influence cross-team technical outcomes.\n\nSelf-driven growth mindset with curiosity to learn new technologies.\n\nExperience driving cross-team technical initiatives end-to-end\n\nWhat we bring\nImpact at scale: powering global analytics and ML systems.\n\nChallenging problems: streaming, freshness/correctness, and multi-cloud resiliency.\n\nCollaborative culture that values inclusion and knowledge sharing.\n\nSupport & growth: flexibility, benefits, and career development resources.\n\nFocus on reliability and sustainable on-call practices.\n\nQualifications\n12+ years of software engineering experience, primarily in distributed systems or data platforms.\n\nProven ability to design and deliver critical systems with impact.\n\nProficiency in Java/Python, CI/CD, and containerized environments.\n\nHands-on expertise in tools like Kafka/Flink, Spark, Delta/Iceberg, Kubernetes, NoSQL/columnar stores.\n\nExperience in streaming and batch data platforms.\n\nStrong foundation in algorithms and distributed design.\n\nBS/MS in CS or equivalent experience.\n\nAdditional Details\neBay is an equal opportunity employer.
