Some insight from the hiring manager's verbatim feedback :

"To be clear, I’m looking for a senior software engineer who has real-world, practical working knowledge/experience designing, building, and supporting Hadoop and other large-scale, data-oriented systems.  The challenge with open source is that it’s ubiquitously accessible, which means everyone can dabble in it.  I need folks who understand the inner workings, the strengths and weaknesses, and can make solid engineering decisions around them...I’m really looking for a hands-on software engineer who is willing and able to deliver production-grade software out of the gate...I need solid functional engineers with practical experience.  Specifically, I’m looking for folks who have experience in:


  1. Large-scale ETL/data transport technologies
  2. AWS/EMR/S3
  3. Hadoop 1.x native jobs (2.x/Yarn is a plus)
  4. Programming/scripting languages:  Java, Pig, Python, Bash
  5. Distributed database solutions (nosql/columnar

Experience not just means having used the tools, but also means having a deep understanding of when to use them, and how to tune them to improve overall performance/scalability.  The role is a mix of software engineering and operations engineering, as we’re an infrastructure team."
