Software Analyst jobs

Senior MTS Software Engineer, Data Platform

Job Type: Full-time

We are seeking Data Platform Software Engineers, not Data Engineers . While familiarity with Spark, Flink, and other tools in the Hadoop environment is a definite advantage, your focus will be on building the data platform rather than just creating data pipelines.

• Independently lead complex, high-impact initiatives across eBay’s Data Platforms, from conception to successful production rollout. You will collaborate with Product Managers to help define the vision for the data platform at eBay.

• Architectural Leadership: Own and evolve the architecture for core data platform systems, ensuring solutions are scalable, secure, maintainable, and in alignment with enterprise standards.

• System Design: Eliminate duplication across systems and ensure clear responsibility boundaries; align systems with business needs and future scalability.

• Engineering Excellence: Champion clean architecture, promote use of modern frameworks, enforce quality gates, and ensure adherence to design patterns and coding standards.

• Lead by Example: Write reference implementations, contribute to core libraries, and conduct in-depth code reviews to influence standards and uplift team capabilities.

• Cost Optimization: Propose and drive engineering solutions that reduce operational overhead, improve resource efficiency, and automate manual processes.

• Framework Development: Find opportunities to build reusable components, services, and frameworks that accelerate feature delivery across the organization

• Modernization: Lead migrations of legacy systems into modern architectures and cloud-native paradigms with minimal disruption and high impact.

• Collaboration: Drive complex technical discussions, build consensus across engineering, product, and operational teams, and ensure smooth delivery of cross-functional projects.

• Documentation & Governance: Create well-structured Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) and contribute to technical documentation and standards.

• Proactively address performance, security, compliance, and future-proofing of solutions while balancing latency, correctness, scale, and cost.

• Raise the engineering bar through design/code reviews, operational excellence (SLOs, observability, incident management), and scalable practices that increase velocity across teams.

• Mentorship: Act as a technical mentor, guiding senior and junior engineers on architecture best practices and advanced problem-solving.

• Introduce AI-first frameworks and reusable components that reduce developer friction and enable faster iteration.

• Automate diagnostics, monitoring, and remediation using intelligent assistants and prediction-based alerting.

• Excellent in interpersonal communication
  

What you bring

• Extensive experience owning large-scale distributed data platforms (multi-PB data, high-throughput streams, global systems).

• Deep systems approach : you anticipate bottlenecks, design for reliability (reprocessing, idempotency, schema evolution), and think holistically across compute, storage, and APIs.

• Excellent decision-making and communication skills , thriving in ambiguity while aligning diverse stakeholders on the right path forward.

• Security and compliance mindset , including data privacy, RBAC/ABAC, encryption, and auditability — with the ability to partner with compliance teams on regulatory requirements.

• Growth mindset
  

• High-impact mission : You will build and modernize eBay’s Data Platform, which powers analytics, experimentation, machine learning, personalization, and trust and compliance on a global scale.

• Challenging technical problems : From real-time streaming at scale, to lakehouse correctness, governance, cost and performance optimization, and multi-cloud resiliency.

• Vibrant culture : A collaborative, transparent, and inclusive environment where diverse perspectives are valued, knowledge sharing is encouraged, and every engineer has a voice.

• Flexibility & support : Hybrid/remote-friendly practices, competitive compensation, global benefits ( ), and support for learning resources, conferences, and career development.

• Always-on responsibility with balance
  

Qualifications

• 12+ years of experience in building and operating large-scale distributed systems, with 5+ years as a staff/architect-level technical lead across multiple domains.
