Your Role

We are looking for a Senior Data Engineer to join the team building Tamara's next-generation data core - a multi-cloud data platform spanning Event Streaming, Data Warehousing, and Experimentation. You will be hands-on; designing and operating petabyte-scale streaming and batch systems that run across clouds. This role is ideal for engineers who love solving complex data challenges at scale, think with a platform mindset, and are excited to raise the technical bar of the team around them.

Your Responsibilities

• Lead the design and build of platform components that run across multiple clouds — addressing portability, cross-cloud replication, HA/DR, and data residency requirements of a regulated fintech environment, and designing against single-cloud lock-in.

• Build and operate large-scale event streaming infrastructure on Kafka, including configuration tuning and cross-cluster replication between cloud environments.
