    • Manage and optimize Apache Kafka infrastructure for event-driven and streaming workloads

    • Experience integrating with credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion) or third-party data providers for identity verification and risk decisioning

 

COMPETENCIES:

  • Customer Service: Exceptional attitude and a passion for providing outstanding service to internal customers.
  • Technical Leadership: Provides technical direction and guidance for infrastructure, cloud platforms, and DevOps practices. Makes sound technical decisions that support scalability, reliability, security, and business objectives.
