The Storage team manages a vast number of Apache Kafka clusters for our marketplaces around the world. As part of the Data Highway area we play a key role in Adevinta’s Data Strategy. The data we collect is essential to our business as it feeds marketplaces with low-latency (“realtime”) updates, visitor insights analysis and targeted advertisement. 

We build technologies around Kafka, like APIs, monitoring and authentication systems and gathering up to 900 million events per day while keeping users’ privacy and data security in mind. We also develop data services on top of our Kafka platform, providing capabilities like data catalogue, lineage and IAM.

What you will do:

• Help build and design critical and state-of-the-art data transport layer from scratch for our marketplaces

• Design, develop, maintain and operate a global product

• Improve our APIs, documentation and availability of our systems

• Help improve our ways of working and communicate best practises

• Continuously monitor the health and quality of our systems 

• Support the team with high-level tech decisions, share knowledge and raise blockers and needs from the rest of the organisation

Technologies we use: Python, Golang, Java, Apache Kafka, Kafka Streams, Schema Registry, Apache Atlas, AWS, Kubernetes, Docker, DataDog, Prometheus, Grafana Cloud, Spinnaker, GitHub Enterprise, Travis CI, Artifactory
