A leading organisation is seeking a Real-Time Data Engineer to join a major data transformation programme focused on building next-generation streaming and event-driven data platforms.

This role focuses on designing and delivering cloud-native, real-time data pipelines, moving operational data from source systems into enterprise data platforms.

The Role

  • Design and build real-time data pipelines using Apache Flink, Apache Kafka, and AWS Kinesis
  • Develop scalable event-driven and streaming solutions
  • Integrate data from source systems including Oracle, MySQL, and Sybase
  • Build data processing, transformation, enrichment, and quality capabilities
  • Deliver low-latency data into enterprise data platforms
  • Create and manage infrastructure using Terraform

Skills & Experience

  • Strong commercial experience with Apache Flink
  • Strong experience with Apache Kafka
  • Experience with AWS Kinesis
  • Advanced SQL skills and strong relational database knowledge
  • Experience working with Oracle, MySQL, and Sybase
  • Hands-on Terraform experience
  • Proven experience building real-time data pipelines and event-driven architectures
  • AWS cloud experience
