Senior Software/Data Engineer

Senior Software/Data Engineer
Role Overview
At CINC, we power the elite of real estate. As a Senior Software/Data Engineer on the TruBase platform, you will own the data transport, transformation, modeling, and analytics of real estate data points that drive institutional-grade insights for top-tier real estate professionals and organizations. We are looking for someone who understands software architecture design patterns and data modeling, including entity resolution at scale — building systems where data integrity is non-negotiable. The right candidate takes full ownership of their work, brings genuine curiosity to hard problems, and thrives as a highly skilled problem solver who can navigate ambiguity and drive solutions end-to-end.
Essential Responsibilities
Architect Distributed Systems: Design and scale fault-tolerant systems that balance consistency and availability.
Database Engineering: Evaluate and implement database technologies based on workload needs. You will own schema design, indexing strategies, and query optimization to ensure low-latency data access.
High-Throughput ETL/ELT: Build, monitor, and maintain "correct-by-design" pipelines. You’ll ensure data integrity across the lifecycle of our high-volume data flows.
System Observability & Profiling: Proactively identify bottlenecks by analyzing memory, CPU, and network usage. You will implement distributed tracing and profiling to keep the system lean.
Technical Leadership: Drive innovation through Proof-of-Concepts (PoCs), document architectural decisions, and provide technical mentorship to junior engineers.
Technical Competencies & Experience
Core Requirements
Distributed Systems: Deep understanding of idempotence, consistency models, and consensus protocols.
Database Internals: Functional knowledge of storage engines (B+ Trees vs. LSM trees), storage formats (Columnar vs. Row), and tiering.
Performance Engineering: Proficiency in debugging and profiling tools (e.g., strace, py-spy, Flamegraphs) to optimize IO and CPU usage.
Data Streaming: Hands-on experience with log-based distributed systems such as Kafka, Pulsar, or Kinesis.
Modern Tooling: Strong Python skills and comfort with Kubernetes and CI/CD for data workflows. Experience with TypeScript is a plus.
Database Diversity: Familiarity with both relational and analytical stores (e.g., Postgres, Redshift, Clickhouse, DynamoDB).
Our Stack (what you'll work in day-to-day):
Python · ClickHouse · PostgreSQL · Kafka · Kubernetes
Preferred (Nice-to-Have)
Experience with lower-level languages (e.g., Rust, Go, or C++).
Deep understanding of serialization codecs and compression (Protobuf, FlatBuffers).
Knowledge of AWS Cloud Architecture and Data Governance frameworks.
How We Measure Success
System Reliability: Maintaining high uptime and scalability metrics under peak loads.
Performance Gains: Measurable improvements in query latency and pipeline throughput.
Architectural Integrity: Delivery of clean, well-documented code and system designs.
Team Growth: Positive impact on the technical growth and velocity of the broader engineering team.
