Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced Hadoop Solutions Developer to design, build, and operate large‑scale data processing pipelines and analytics platforms on Hadoop and related big‑data ecosystems. In this role you will be responsible for ingesting, transforming, and analyzing massive volumes of structured and unstructured data to support enterprise analytics, machine learning, and reporting workloads. 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.
