Responsibilities
- As a Data Engineer, you can expect to:
- Build and maintain services in our Kafka Connect and streaming pipeline, including the kafka-forwarder and changelogs-processor, under the guidance of senior engineers.
- Contribute to extending the bronze streaming layer across Depop's growing table catalogue, working from well-scoped tickets through to production rollout.
- Help implement data contracts and freshness checks on streaming datasets, and build the quarantine/alerting that keeps bad data out of downstream consumers.
- Take part in the team's support rota, helping other teams onboard new events and troubleshoot streaming issues.
- Write clear documentation and contribute to design discussions, growing your judgement on trade-offs like latency vs completeness and cost vs freshness.
- Pair with senior engineers on more complex pieces of the streaming framework work, building towards owning larger pieces of it yourself.
Requirements
- Some experience building and operating production data pipelines, ideally including Kafka or another streaming/event-driven system.
- Working knowledge of at least one of Scala, Kotlin or Python, and willingness to work across all three as the team requires.
- Familiarity with data warehousing concepts (e.g. medallion architecture bronze/silver/gold) and an interest in data quality and freshness monitoring.
- Comfortable working with Kafka Connect, schema registries, and distributed systems concepts, or keen to build that experience quickly.
- A collaborative approach — this team works closely with Data Infrastructure, ML and Insights, and pairs regularly with senior engineers.

- Subsidised counselling and coaching with Self Space
