We're looking for a Big Data Engineer to play a key role in modernizing enterprise-scale data platforms. This person will focus on migrating and optimizing legacy Hadoop-based workloads into open-source and cloud-aligned environments. The ideal candidate combines strong technical skills across distributed systems with a passion for performance, scalability, and clean data architecture.

  • Rebuild and optimize Spark, Hive, and MapReduce workloads for execution in modern distributed compute environments.
  • Design, develop, and maintain data pipelines for both batch and streaming use cases using Spark, NiFi, and Kafka.
  • Convert legacy ETL processes and workflows into open-source or cloud-native frameworks.
  • Collaborate with data engineers, architects, and platform teams to define data ingestion and transformation standards.
  • Tune and optimize performance across large-scale data workloads (partitioning, caching, resource management).
  • Implement and automate data validation frameworks to ensure consistency throughout the migration process.
  • Conduct code reviews, performance testing, and production readiness validation.
  • Create and maintain technical documentation, including migration strategies, dependencies, and operational guides.
  • Work closely with business and application stakeholders to ensure seamless handoff and domain alignment.
  • 4-8 years of experience in big data engineering, ETL modernization, or distributed system development.
  • Proven experience migrating workloads from Hadoop-based ecosystems (Cloudera, MAPR, Hortonworks) to open-source or cloud-native platforms.
  • Deep understanding of data lake and distributed data architecture principles.
  • Hands-on experience with hybrid or cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
  • Familiarity with large enterprise or regulated environments preferred.
