Job Description

Event Driven SME Software Engineer

Contract: Inside IR35
Location: Sheffield – 2–3 days per week

We’re looking for an experienced Event Driven SME Software Engineer to join a greenfield project building a large-scale, high-throughput platform processing billions of cloud telemetry and log events every day.

You’ll be hands-on with the design and engineering of event-driven data ingestion and streaming capabilities, helping shape the architecture, engineering standards and testing strategy across the platform.

Key Responsibilities

  * Build high-volume, event-driven data ingestion pipelines across multiple Cloud Service Providers.

  * Design and engineer streaming solutions using Kafka and Flink, with Java-based services and jobs.

  * Deploy and operate cloud-based services with a focus on scalability, resilience, security and observability.

  * Contribute to technical architecture covering event schemas, partitioning, ordering, state, replay, retention and failure handling.

  * Optimise solutions for performance and cost at significant scale.

  * Establish mature automated testing across unit, integration, contract, end-to-end and performance testing.

  * Work with cloud-native data collection approaches across AWS, Azure and GCP.

  * Contribute to CI/CD, infrastructure automation and operational best practices.

Essential Experience

  * Proven experience delivering large-scale event-driven systems in production.

  * Strong hands-on Kafka experience, including partitioning, consumer groups, ordering, schema evolution, retention and replay.

  * Strong hands-on Flink or equivalent stream-processing experience, including stateful processing, checkpoints, back-pressure and delivery semantics.

  * Excellent software engineering skills, with strong knowledge of clean code, design patterns, microservices, TDD/BDD and performance engineering.

  * Strong cloud engineering experience, ideally AWS.

  * Demonstrable experience building robust automated testing strategies and driving a quality-first engineering culture.

  * Strong understanding of scalability, performance, bottlenecks and cost optimisation at high volumes.

Desirable

  * Multi-cloud telemetry/log collection experience across AWS, Azure and GCP.

  * Terraform and Infrastructure as Code.

  * Strong CI/CD and automated deployment experience.

  * Experience contributing to cloud/application architecture while remaining hands-on technically.

  * Observability and SRE practices.

This is a genuinely hands-on SME role for someone who can make architectural decisions, write production-quality code and build platforms that are scalable, resilient, testable and cost-effective
