Role
Who you are
- You’re a streaming engineer with deep experience designing and implementing scalable, distributed data processing systems. You thrive in real-time environments where performance and reliability matter
- You’ve worked with Kafka (or similar) in production, understand the tradeoffs of event-driven architectures, and enjoy building resilient streaming pipelines that can handle massive throughput
- You’re comfortable collaborating with application engineers, product teams, and external vendors to translate requirements into well-architected, real-time data flows. You care about system design, monitoring, and data quality as much as raw throughput
- 5+ years of professional experience in data or software engineering, with at least 3 years focused on streaming/distributed systems
- Deep experience with Kafka (or similar streaming platforms such as Pulsar, Kinesis)
- Hands-on experience with Flink, Debezium, or other stream processing technologies
- Strong understanding of distributed systems concepts (scalability, partitioning, fault tolerance)
- Proficiency in at least one programming language such as Java, Scala, or Python (Ruby experience is a plus, or willingness to learn)
- Experience building and maintaining high-throughput streaming architectures in production
- Familiarity with data modeling and downstream analytics environments (Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks) is a plus
- Solid understanding of data quality, validation, and monitoring techniques
- Excellent problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and communication abilities
- Be sure to mention “coffee” in your application so we know you actually read this
What the job involves
- Design and implement robust real-time data streaming pipelines using Kafka, Flink, Debezium, or Confluent
- Optimize streaming architectures for low-latency, high-throughput, and fault tolerance
- Build connectors and services to integrate vendor data streams (sensor data, telematics, fuel, accounting, etc.) into Fleetio’s platform
- Implement data validation, monitoring, and alerting strategies to ensure pipeline reliability and data quality
- Troubleshoot and resolve data processing issues in real time
- Document streaming architectures, data flows, and integration patterns
- Contribute to technical decision-making around Fleetio’s data streaming and integration strategy
- Collaborate with our Ruby on Rails application teams to ensure seamless integration between core platform features and streaming systems
- Support downstream batch/warehouse analytics when needed (Snowflake, ELT)
Our take
Fleetio offers software that helps organizations track, analyze, and improve their fleet operations. Fleet management is known to be an often complex and difficult task, so Fleetio's services unburden organizations of this, enabling them to focus time and energy on their own mission.
The company makes it easier for businesses to lease a fleet of vehicles with an app with which managers, drivers and mechanics can access and update information, relieving users of outdated fleet software and complicated spreadsheets. This simple solution has proven effective with the start-up seeing nearly 400% growth in a three year margin.
The company's had a successful 20215 too, having raised over $450M early in the year which also came with the acquisition of Auto Integrate. With moves like this, Fleetio can certainly expect to continue its growth, especially given its stable position in a market estimated to be worth $52.4 billion by 2027.
