  • 7+ years of experience in data engineering, with at least 3 years in a managerial or team leadership role. 
  • Proven experience managing teams that develop mediation systems or data pipelines for billing, usage tracking, or high-transaction environments. 
  • Strong technical background in event-driven architectures and ETL processes, with hands-on experience in tools such as Apache Kafka, Flink, Spark Streaming, Airflow, or NiFi. 
  • Expertise in managing large-scale data processing pipelines for real-time and batch data. 
  • Strong programming skills in Python, Java, or Scala, with the ability to guide and review the technical work of team members. 
  • Experience with cloud platforms like AWS, GCP, or Azure, and hands-on familiarity with their data processing services (e.g., Lambda, Glue, Dataflow). 
  • Solid understanding of data governance, including data security and privacy regulations impacting mediation and billing systems. 

Preferred: 

  • Experience in industries with complex mediation needs such as telecommunications, messaging, utilities, or SaaS platforms, particularly with billing and usage-based models. 
  • Knowledge of mediation engines and practices used in high-transaction industries. 
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines, version control, and infrastructure automation.
