About the team
The vision of Data Movement is to build innovative solutions for real-time ingestion of terabytes of data and billions of events into our data warehouse for analysis and business-specific processing. Our team operates some of Stripe's highest volume data pipelines, processing over 1 GB/second for critical use cases such as Money Movement, Payment, Fraud Detection, Machine Learning, Reporting, and externally facing products like Radar and Sigma.
The team owns the managed ingestion platform that operates on a wide variety of technologies including Kafka, Change Data Capture, Event Bus, Flink, Spark, Airflow, Hive MetaStore, Trino, Pinot, S3 and Iceberg. On the cusp of innovation, we're pushing the boundaries of open-source Iceberg and Spark for real-time ingestion.

Provide hands-on technical leadership in architecture/design, vision/direction/requirements setting, and incident response processes for your reports.
