Job Description

Do you enjoy making sure that information is accessible and easy to use? So do we.

Your skills

You’re got great experience in data and analysis, and how to source, store and share information. You’re a problem solver who’s happy to work autonomously and to share their knowledge and skills, as well as guiding other team members.

  • Database, storage, collection and aggregation models, techniques and technologies – and how to apply them in business

  • Using Apache Spark, Hive and Hadoop eco-system. Exposure to real-time data integration is preferred.

  • Understand how business intelligence tools work with Big Data systems

  • Effort estimation in support of project delivery or pre-sales effort

  • Very strong in tuning/Writing SQL Queries both in big data platform and DBMS

  • Experience in implementing projects in synapse is preferred

  • Experienced in implementing reports with any of the following visualisation tools (Power BI, SSRS, Tablaeu) 

  • Experience in structured problem solving. You do not hesitate to roll up your sleeves to solve code related issues.

  • Great project and people management

You’re likely to have a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering and have nine to twelve years of relevant professional experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience.

For sake of clarity, we are not looking for big data system administrators
