Job description
As an experienced Python-oriented Big Data Engineer, you will be at the forefront of advancing our big data technologies, leveraging Kubernetes. Your primary responsibilities will include back-end development, managing terabytes of data on distributed storage systems such as Impala, ScyllaDB, and Apache Druid, working with messaging systems like Apache Kafka, querying data using SQL or in-house alternatives, and processing data in parallel using tools like Apache Spark and Flink.
In this role, you will join our Automated Systems and Intelligent Solutions Department, located in Bratislava, Brno, or Prague. You will design, implement, and maintain scalable data workflows and pipelines that drive our data-driven decisions. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to ensure the efficient handling and transformation of massive datasets, enhancing our detection systems.
Additionally, you will create monitoring scripts and data pipelines to automate processing.
