About the job
Build and operate distributed, real-time data systems for Unity’s mobile advertising attribution, reporting, and ad-serving infrastructure.
What you'll do
- Own attribution services and streaming pipelines, ensuring accurate, timely delivery of ad-event signals to internal and external partners.
- Modernize event processing by migrating a legacy layer to a gRPC-based service, and improve low-latency caching, persistence, and ad-serving services.
- Monitor data health and quality, maintain batch pipelines producing daily BigQuery datasets, and lead incident investigation and recovery.
What they ask for
- Strong foundation in distributed systems and systems design, with hands-on experience building and operating large-scale data processing systems.
- Deep understanding of streaming concepts, including exactly-once semantics, watermarking, event-time and stateful processing, checkpointing and recovery, and backpressure.
- Production experience with Apache Flink, Spark, Kafka, or similar technologies; proficiency in Python, Java, or Scala.
- Experience with workflow orchestration tools such as Airflow, and understanding of cloud-native architectures, Kubernetes, containerization, and cloud platforms.
Nice to have
- Experience migrating legacy systems to modern architectures in production environments.
