Position Overview

We’re seeking a seasoned Apache Druid Administrator with deep experience in managing distributed systems. You’ll be responsible for deploying, maintaining, and optimizing Druid clusters to support mission-critical analytics workloads. This role demands hands-on expertise in infrastructure orchestration, performance tuning, and cross-functional collaboration with data engineering and DevOps teams.

Responsibilities:

  • Cluster Management: Deploy, configure, and maintain Apache Druid clusters across cloud and on-prem environments.
  • Performance Optimization: Monitor query performance, ingestion pipelines, and system health; implement tuning strategies for sub-second latency.
  • Distributed Systems Oversight: Manage fault-tolerant, horizontally scalable architectures; ensure high availability and disaster recovery.
  • Security & Governance: Implement role-based access control, encryption, and audit logging in compliance with enterprise standards.
  • Automation & CI/CD: Build and maintain automated deployment pipelines using tools like Terraform, Ansible, or Helm.
  • Monitoring & Alerting: Integrate with observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK) to proactively detect and resolve issues.
  • Collaboration: Work closely with data engineers, architects, and product teams to align Druid capabilities with business needs.
  • Documentation & SOPs: Create and maintain operational playbooks, SOPs, and knowledge base articles for internal teams.

Required Qualifications:

  • 3+ years of experience in administering distributed systems or real-time analytics platforms.
  • 1+ years of hands-on experience with Apache Druid in production environments.
  • Strong understanding of Druid internals: segment management, indexing services, query nodes, and deep storage.
  • Proficiency in Linux, shell scripting, and container orchestration (Kubernetes preferred).
  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and infrastructure-as-code.
  • Familiarity with Kafka, Zookeeper, and other components in the Druid ecosystem.
  • Solid grasp of networking, load balancing, and system security principles.

Preferred Skills:

  • Experience integrating Druid with BI tools (e.g., Superset, Tableau, Looker).
  • Knowledge of data modeling for OLAP-style queries.
  • Exposure to hybrid cloud architectures and multi-region deployments.
  • Contributions to open-source Druid or related projects.
