SENIOR ENGINEER - KAFKA STREAMING PLATFORM - Here s a smattering of approaches important to us and the technologies we use Everything we do is as-code in version control. We don t like clicking buttons or doing things manually. All development or infra config changes go through a pull-request process, so you ll always have a say to thumbs up or down things you catch. Everything should have test cases and they go through a continuous integration process. We understand the importance of logs and metrics, so having visibility to things you need to see to do your job isn t an issue. And if you need to add more metrics or see more logs, it s within our control to improve that. We try to own as much of the platform as we reasonably can. You don t need to rely on other teams outside our own to improve the stack or change the way we do things.
