Looking to hire: BigData wizard
Burt is looking for a distributed computing and data storage engineer. You should love big data and cluster computing, especially in the context of solving large-scale, real-world problems that improve our core products. An interest in teaching and enabling coworkers with this technology is ideal. The ideal candidate will dream about distributed systems for the parallel processing of massive quantities of data, be familiar with Hadoop/Pig/HBase and MapReduce, and frequently think to themselves, “Yeah, that works for 500 MB of data; what about 500 TB?”. This position is full-time and based in our main office in Gothenburg, Sweden(*).
Responsibilities
- Work on the scalability, resilience, and efficiency of backend components, particularly Hadoop.
- Interface with other teams to incorporate their innovations and vice versa.
- Work with data analysis to construct creative solutions for supporting Burt’s products.
- Optimize our infrastructure at both the software and hardware level.
- Focus on scaling horizontally rather than vertically.
- Debug runtime problems and understand the interactions between systems,
- Build systems, libraries, and frameworks within, around, and on top of Hadoop.
- Code using primarily Java, Scala, and Python/Ruby.
Preferred experience
- BS or MS in Computer Science or equivalent work experience
- Experience with large-scale Hadoop clusters is a big plus
- Experience or interest in distributed network systems
- Knowledge developing and debugging in C/C++ and Java on *nix
- Experience developing with Python, Ruby, or PHP
- Experience with filesystems, server architectures, and distributed systems
- Deep knowledge of a compiled language

Umm. So you are looking for a: Database administrator, database developer, database analyst, a software engineer, a hardware engineer, a network engineer & technician & developer. ANd, you also need a soft- and hardware developer fluent in atleast 4 different languages. Together with that I'm guessing you need a good looking, young, highly trained and globally mentored speaker with an option to be able to lead a team of similar people?
Good luck with that.
Do you want to discuss that or are you just being an ass? All our contacts are right here. Think you qualify? Let's talk then.
And yes. That's about it.
Och eftersom du är Svensk så är din feedback värd mycket för oss. Jag pratar gärna. Mvh, john@burtcorp.com

It is easy if you just let things flow!!
can help you
