About The Team & Role

We are building an enterprise-grade, Everything-as-Code (EaC) Data Mesh that transforms corporate IT from a manual ticket-driven delivery model into an automated, machine-executable software factory. As the Lead Data Mesh Engineer,



you will own the architectural execution and hands-on delivery of our high-throughput, asynchronous event-streaming infrastructure and hybrid data pipelines.

Operating in an environment where every asset, route, and policy must exist as declarative code inside Git, you will architect the "Data-in-Motion" backbone across multi-cloud environments (AWS MSK, Apache NiFi on EKS) and insulate our core on-premises data lakehouse.

As a Lead Data Mesh Engineer, you will:
- Event-Streaming Architecture (IaC): Architect, provision, and maintain multi-AZ Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (AWS MSK) clusters and Apache NiFi runtimes on Amazon EKS (Graviton ARM64) using Terraform and declarative GitOps patterns.
- Contract-First Schema Governance: Integrate vendor-neutral Schema Registries (AWS Glue / Apicurio) to enforce strict Apache Avro and AsyncAPI data contracts defined in our central Governance Hub befor
