• Experience working with distributed Big Data platforms
• Familiarity with NoSQL data stores such as HBase, Accumulo, or BigTable
• Experience with Hadoop Distributed File System, HDFS
• Cloud environment experience
• Ability to design, develop, debug, and integrate complex software systems
• Experience working with serialization formats such as JSON or BSON
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills
