What kind of engineer are we looking for?
- Actual experience (3+ years) working with Hadoop and related frameworks like Spark (experience with other NoSQL tools like Pig, Cassandra, MongoDB, CouchDB, and Infobright are good too)
- Strong objected-oriented skills as a Java (or equivalent) developer (5+ years)
- Experience working in and a fundamental understanding of the Amazon Web Services ecosystem (EMR, S3, Lambda, DynamoDB, etc.) is a big plus
- BS in Computer Science, Math, or equivalent (MS or Phd a plus)
- A ridiculous attention to detail and pride in the work you do
We're expecting you to be able to hit the ground running on your very first day. This means not only having the technical skills to code, but knowing how to work as part of an engineering team. It should go without saying that you know how to use source control in your sleep, be able to setup and administer your own dev machine, have worked with IntelliJ or other comparable IDE's, work with defect tracking systems, write proper code documentation, etc.
