Technical Architect Data Mediation

Job title: Technical Architect Data Mediation

Job Location: Tampa, FL / Dallas, TX / Basking Ridge, NJ / Hampton, VA - Onsite

Job Type: Fulltime

Job Description:

Must Have Technical/Functional Skills

• Data Engineer-PySpark/Apache Flink - Data Mediation, Golang
• System Architecture & Design – Lead the design of scalable, fault-tolerant mediation components including file ingestion, format conversion, SFTP distribution, event monitoring, and downstream delivery pipelines.
• Binary Protocol & Telecom Data Expertise – Parse, decode, and transform binary telecom data formats including ASN.1-encoded CDRs/UDRs, AMA (Automatic Message Accounting) records, and proprietary carrier formats at the byte-stream level.
• Java / Spring Boot Development – Build and maintain core mediation services using Java 17+ and Spring Boot (Spring Integration, Spring Batch, Spring Kafka); contribute to shared starters and reusable platform libraries.
• Kubernetes / OpenShift Operations – Design and deploy containerized workloads on OpenShift/Kubernetes; own Helm chart definitions, resource tuning, PVC strategies, horizontal scaling, and rolling upgrade policies.
• Oracle Database – Design and optimize schemas for high-volume mediation metadata, reconciliation state, and audit trails; write and tune complex SQL for operational reporting.
• Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) – Define and enforce SLOs/SLIs; lead incident response; drive post-mortems; implement error budgets and auto-remediation patterns into the platform.
• Advanced Observability & Monitoring – Build deep observability into the platform: structured logging (Log back/ELK), distributed tracing (Open Telemetry/Jaeger), metrics (Micrometer/Prometheus/Grafana), and alerting strategies for carrier-grade availability.
• Performance & Reliability Engineering – Profile and optimize JVM performance, Kafka consumer throughput, file I/O pipelines, and database query patterns; establish benchmarks and regression gates.
• Cross-Team Technical Leadership – Drive architectural decisions, conduct design reviews, mentor engineers, and collaborate with network, OSS/BSS, and downstream consumer teams.

Roles & Responsibilities

• Hands-on experience with ASN.1 decoding, AMA record parsing, binary CDR/UDR formats (3GPP, ANSI), and byte-stream manipulation
• Strong Kubernetes and OpenShift skills: Helm, resource policies, stateful workloads, network policies, operator patterns
• Proficient in Oracle SQL and PL/SQL: schema design, indexing strategies, partitioning, explain plans
• SRE mindset: SLO/SLI definition, on-call discipline, chaos engineering fundamentals, capacity planning
• Experience building production-grade observability: Prometheus, Grafana, Open Telemetry, ELK/EFK, alerting pipelines
• Demonstrated ability to debug and resolve issues at the system level — OS, JVM, network, file descriptor limits, GC pressure, thread contention
• Experience with Apache Kafka at scale: partition strategy, consumer group tuning, offset management, dead-letter handling

Solid understanding of SFTP, S3/object storage, file lifecycle management, and large-scale file distribution patterns
