Scored from the posting itself — how clearly the role is described, how much it says about pay and benefits, and how recently it was listed. Not a judgement of SonicWall as an employer.

What you need

  • 12+ years of data engineering and architecture experience
  • Proven track record of designing production systems handling massive, high-throughput streaming datasets
  • Deep knowledge of distributed processing and streaming engines (e.g., Apache Flink, Spark, Kafka, Pulsar)
  • Mastery of polyglot persistence including relational databases, NoSQL, and columnar engines
  • Strong fundamentals in secure data architectures and cloud-native infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Azure)
  • Ability to combine visionary architecture with hands-on execution

Worth weighing

  • The role requires a significant amount of experience (12+ years) which may limit applicants who are less experienced.
  • The position is part of a very small team (three people), which may lead to a high level of responsibility and visibility, but could also mean limited collaboration opportunities.
  • Focus on high-performance code and immediate needs may not allow for extensive long-term project planning.
