This position serves as the single primary technical owner of the application framework and is expected to maintain sufficient expertise across the complete technology stack—including Scala, Apache Spark, Hive, Drools, and the Cloudera Data Platform—to ensure the ongoing reliability, maintainability, and operational continuity of this mission-critical system.

Required Qualifications

Minimum 7 years of experience developing enterprise-scale distributed data processing applications.

Strong hands-on development experience with Scala.

Experience developing applications using Apache Spark 2.x and/or Spark 3.x.

Experience developing and maintaining applications running on Cloudera Data Platform (CDP) 7.x or equivalent enterprise

Hadoop distributions.

Experience implementing business rules using the Drools Rules Engine.

Strong SQL development and query optimization skills.

Experience supporting Linux-based production environments.

Experience troubleshooting distributed Spark applications in production.
