• Data processing systems experience: Hands-on experience with data processing systems — query engines, distributed databases, ETL/ELT frameworks, or analytical platforms.
• Engineering experience: 3+ years in backend/systems software engineering.
• CI/CD & DevOps basics: Practical experience with Jenkins pipelines and modern development workflows.
• Containers: Working knowledge of Docker and basic Kubernetes (running workloads, debugging pods, kubectl fluency).
• Cloud: Comfortable operating in at least one major cloud (GCP, AWS, or Azure).
• Version Control: Confident with Git / GitHub workflows.
• English: Upper-Intermediate or higher (B2+) — daily written and verbal communication with a US-based engineering team.
• Availability: Able to work EU hours with a 2–3 hour shift toward US West Coast time to ensure daily overlap with the client team.

DESIRED SKILLS

• Experience with Apache Arrow (columnar in-memory format).

• Exposure to Gandiva or LLVM-based expression compilation.
• Experience with open table formats — Apache Iceberg, Delta Lake, or Hudi.

About the Client

Our client is a leading enterprise data platform company building an open, high-performance data lakehouse for AI and analytical workloads. The platform combines an intelligent SQL query engine, an AI-ready semantic layer, and an open catalog built on Apache Iceberg — enabling Fortune 500 companies across finance, energy, manufacturing, and logistics to unify, query, and govern data at massive scale across cloud and on-premise sources.

About the Role

We are looking for a Middle-level SDET to design and maintain automated tests for a large-scale distributed data platform. You will validate the correctness, performance, and reliability of the query engine, connectivity layer, and backend services across all major clouds.

This is a data-heavy, backend-focused role. We are not looking for web/UI QA engineers — the work centers on validating distributed query execution, data correctness at scale, connectivity drivers, and backend microservices.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain automated tests in Python / pytest for backend services, REST APIs, and distributed data components.
• Write end-to-end, integration, and regression tests covering SQL query execution, data correctness, and platform APIs.
• Support performance and load testing with JMeter, including workloads over JDBC / ODBC / Arrow Flight drivers.
• Validate data-intensive scenarios — query plans, result correctness across data sources, metadata consistency, and behavior under concurrency.
• Contribute to CI/CD test pipelines in Jenkins — configure, maintain, and troubleshoot.
• Provision and manage test environments in Kubernetes (GKE / EKS / AKS) across GCP, AWS, and Azure using Docker.
• Investigate failures across the stack — query engine, distributed services, drivers, infrastructure — and drive them to resolution with engineering.
• Collaborate with US-based developers on testability and quality gates.

Required Qualifications

• Education: B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Programming: Strong proficiency in Python, including pytest, with a solid grasp of OOP and software design principles.
• SQL & Data: Strong SQL skills and solid understanding of how relational and analytical data systems work.
• Data-intensive testing experience: Hands-on experience testing data-intensive systems — query engines, ETL/ELT pipelines, streaming platforms, or analytical databases. Candidates with only web/UI QA backgrounds are not a fit.
• Testing experience: 3+ years in backend/system test automation or SDET roles.
• CI/CD & DevOps basics: Practical experience with Jenkins pipelines and deploying/maintaining test environments.
• Containers: Working knowledge of Docker and basic Kubernetes (running workloads, debugging pods, kubectl fluency).
• Cloud: Comfortable operating in at least one major cloud (GCP, AWS, or Azure).
• Version Control: Confident with Git / GitHub workflows.
• English: Upper-Intermediate or higher (B2+) — daily written and verbal communication with a US-based engineering team.
• Availability: Able to work EU hours with a 2–3 hour shift toward US West Coast time to ensure daily overlap with the client team.

Desired Skills

• Experience testing REST APIs and backend microservices at scale.
• Familiarity with distributed computing frameworks (e.g., Apache Spark, Kafka) and MPP SQL query engines (e.g., Presto, Trino, or similar).

About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer for the data catalog and enterprise data management layer of a large-scale lakehouse platform — the services that automate data ingestion and autonomously optimize Apache Iceberg tables. You will own features through the full development cycle, from design through deployment, in a multithreaded, distributed environment where scalability, performance, and always-on availability are the baseline expectations.

This is a systems-level, backend engineering role focused on data infrastructure internals — not application development or CRUD services.

Responsibilities

• Own the full software development cycle — inception, design, development, testing, deployment — for catalog and data-management services
• Build and operate services for automated ingestion and autonomous optimization of Apache Iceberg tables
• Reason about concurrency and parallelization to deliver scalability and performance in multithreaded, distributed systems
• Drive performance tuning and system-efficiency improvements
• Work with Apache Foundation open-source projects, contributing upstream where agreed
• Participate in code and design reviews, upholding a high engineering bar
• Collaborate with product managers, support teams, and solution architects on feature requests and design updates
• Partner with US-based engineering leads on technical decisions

Required Qualifications

• B.S., M.S., or PhD in Computer Science or a related field
• 5+ years of software engineering experience, preferably focused on database systems or related fields
• Strong object-oriented programming skills in Java or C++
• Solid grounding in data structures and algorithms
• Hands-on experience with multithreaded and asynchronous programming patterns for scalable, performant systems
• A passion for engineering quality — zero-downtime upgrades, availability, resiliency, and uptime as first-class concerns
• Comfort with a fast-moving environment; strong ownership; the confidence to defend a technical position and the openness to be mentored
• Comfortable with AI-assisted development workflows — using modern AI tools productively while critically validating their output
• English Upper-Intermediate or higher (B2+) — daily written and verbal communication with a US-based engineering team
• Availability to work EU business hours shifted 2–3 hours later for daily overlap with US West Coast mornings

Desired Skills

• Database internals and query planning
• Distributed systems: concurrency control, data replication, storage systems
• Apache Iceberg or other open table formats (Delta Lake, Hudi)
• Messaging systems: Kafka, NATS, or cloud pub/sub services
• Contributions to open-source data infrastructure (Apache projects especially valued)

Details

• Engagement: Long-term contract
• Location: Europe (EU / EEA / UK), remote
• Working hours: EU business hours, shifted 2–3 hours later for daily overlap with the US West Coast team
