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.

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.
