The ideal candidate will combine deep technical expertise across the Hadoop ecosystem with strong software engineering fundamentals and a clear understanding of how to deliver reliable, performant, and cost-effective data platforms in production environments. Key Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and operate end-to-end big-data pipelines on Hadoop, ingesting data from a diverse mix of relational, file-based, streaming, and API-driven sources.
- Build robust ETL/ELT workflows using Apache Spark, Hive, Pig, and Sqoop, with strong attention to data quality, idempotency, error handling, and recoverability.
- Develop high-throughput streaming data pipelines using Kafka, Spark Streaming, or Flink, and integrate them with downstream analytical and operational systems.
- Optimize Spark and MapReduce jobs through careful tuning of partitioning, memory, serialization, and skew handling to meet demanding SLAs at minimal cost.
- Design and maintain data models and storage layouts on HDFS, Hive, HBase, and modern lakehouse formats (Parquet, ORC, Delta, Iceberg, Hudi) to balance flexibility and performance.
- Implement data governance, lineage, and quality controls in collaboration with data governance and security teams.

- Five or more years of professional experience designing and operating big-data pipelines on Hadoop.
- Strong hands-on expertise with Apache Spark (Scala, Python, or Java) in production environments.
- Solid experience with Hive, HDFS, Sqoop, HBase, and the broader Hadoop ecosystem.
- Hands-on experience with streaming data platforms such as Kafka, Spark Streaming, or Flink.
- Strong SQL skills and experience working with both relational and NoSQL data stores.
- Experience with workflow orchestration tools such as Airflow or Oozie.
- Solid understanding of distributed systems concepts, including partitioning, replication, and fault tolerance.
- Strong scripting skills in Python or Shell.
- Excellent troubleshooting, debugging, and documentation skills.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience operating Hadoop on cloud platforms such as AWS EMR, Azure HDInsight, or Databricks.
- Familiarity with modern lakehouse formats (Delta, Iceberg, Hudi).
- Exposure to data governance tooling such as Apache Atlas or Collibra.
- Experience with Kubernetes-based data platforms (Spark-on-K8s, Trino).
- Hands-on experience with CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code in data engineering workflows.
