  • Experience with high-throughput messaging systems such as Apache Pulsar or Kafka for real-time data ingestion
  • Strong SQL skills; experience with StarRocks for large-scale analytical queries and real-time analytics over the lakehouse

Nice to have

  • Experience with CDC (Change Data Capture) replication from transactional systems (i.e. PostgreSQL → Lakehouse via Debezium or Airbyte)
  • Exposure to audio or time-series data pipelines, including preprocessing for ASR or speech model training
  • Prior experience in aerospace, aviation, or other safety-critical domains where data lineage and auditability are non-negotiable
