About the Management and Distribution team.

The team

Our team is responsible for Pulse - Schibsted’s biggest event streaming platform. We currently both stream events and store some of them in a data lake. Each day the streaming pipeline receives 1.6 billion events from newspapers and marketplaces such as VG, Aftonbladet, and FINN. These events are filtered, transformed, and enriched in near real time. Then they are streamed to external repositories so that data analysts can extract value from the data. In addition, we make sure that data is processed in accordance with the privacy preferences of the users and that they can exercise their rights to be forgotten or audit their data as established by GDPR.

Our day-to-day consists of developing and maintaining Pulse as the most powerful and reliable internal platform for everybody at Schibsted to collect and distribute millions of their events every day. In an environment of constant change, we too must constantly improve and upgrade our tech and features while maintaining stability for our users. This translates to a decent amount of maintenance work (upgrading library versions, scaling infrastructure, migrating to new monitoring or logging solutions, reducing our release times) and a lot of discovery work for how to make our product even more powerful and efficient (working with the product team to discover new features our customers need, figuring out the optimal use of new technologies available in AWS, adding new ways of integrating with our platform, adding more automation to commonly repeated tasks, optimizing our resource usage and re-evaluating our tech stack).

• Our tech stack consists of (don’t worry if you are not fluent with any of these – we will teach you!)
• Scala is our main programming language (if you know Java - you’ll love learning Scala ;) ). We also have some small elements of Java and Python.
• AWS is our cloud provider of choice. Services we use include:
• S3
• EC2 and EKS
• Kinesis
• EMR
• CloudFormation
• Apache Kafka for all our streaming needs (and we have a lot of those)
• Apache Spark for our batch jobs (both production and ad hoc analysis)
• Luigi for scheduling batch jobs
