Technical Lead

Department: Sourcefuse

Location: Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Peru, Uruguay

Employment Type: FullTime

Role Overview

We are building a cloud-native, telecom-grade data engineering platform that ingests and processes massive observability workloads across distributed network domains. The platform follows a disaggregated microservices architecture, is Kafka-centric, Kubernetes-native, cloud-agnostic, and designed for future near-real-time processing.

We are looking for a Technical Lead to:

• Architect high-throughput streaming pipelines

• Lead design decisions

• Build microservices architecture in Go

• Define performance, reliability, and scaling strategies

• Guide teams on concurrency, partitioning, and state management

• Bring telecom domain awareness into system design

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement high-throughput Kafka-based data pipelines in Go

• Architect microservices in Go

• Define partitioning strategies and windowed aggregation patterns

• Design for near real-time streaming evolution

• Ensure cloud-agnostic Kubernetes-native deployment

• Implement resilient patterns (retry, DLQ, idempotency, backpressure)

• Guide dynamic configuration via CRDs and operator patterns

• Define observability standards (OpenTelemetry, metrics, traces)

• Ensure production-grade security posture (SBOM, CVE hygiene, image hardening)

• Mentor engineers and conduct architectural reviews

Must-Have Technical Skills

• Strong Go experience in distributed systems

• Strong experience with Kafka (consumer groups, partitions, retries, DLQ, performance tuning)

• Experience building high-throughput microservices (10M+ messages/day)

• Kubernetes (pods, scaling, Helm, CRDs, operators)

• Experience with time-series databases (InfluxDB, Prometheus, etc.)

• Strong understanding of concurrency models (goroutines, channels)

• Cloud-native design principles

• Observability (OpenTelemetry, metrics-driven scaling)

• Strongly Preferred:

  • Telecom domain exposure (3GPP, O-RAN, PM/KPI, OSS/BSS)

  • Experience designing for multi-tenant cloud environments

  • Experience with schema evolution (Avro/Protobuf + Schema Registry)

  • Experience with CI/CD and secure container pipelines

  • Familiarity with telecom network data semantics

• Nice to Have:

  • Experience building K8s operators in Go

  • Experience with stateful stream processing patterns

  • Experience in data governance or telecom compliance

Why Join?

• Work with a high-scale, telecom-grade distributed data platform

• Influence architecture at a foundational stage

• Remote-first team based across LATAM

• Exposure to cutting-edge cloud-native, streaming, and distributed systems challenges
