We are looking for skilled Hadoop Ecosystem Support Engineers to provide operational support and ensure the stability, performance, and availability of big data platforms. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience managing and troubleshooting the Hadoop ecosystem — including HDFS, Hive, Spark, YARN, and other related components.

This role focuses on providing support, maintenance, and resolving issues.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide L3 production support for Hadoop ecosystem components (HDFS, Hive, Spark, YARN, Oozie, etc.).
• Monitor cluster health, performance, and resource utilization using tools such as Ambari, Cloudera Manager, or Grafana.
• Troubleshoot and resolve HDFS, Hive, and Spark job failures and performance issues.
• Perform root cause analysis (RCA) for recurring incidents and work with engineering teams to implement fixes.
• Manage user access, quotas, and security policies in Hadoop clusters.
• Conduct routine maintenance tasks such as service restarts, cluster upgrades, and patch management.
• Collaborate with data engineers and platform teams to ensure optimal cluster performance and reliability.
• Document support procedures, incident reports, and configuration changes.

Required Skills & Experience

• 3–8 years of experience supporting or administering Hadoop ecosystems in production.
• Strong hands-on knowledge of:
• HDFS (file system management, data balancing, recovery)
• Hive (query execution, metastore management, troubleshooting)
• Spark (job monitoring, debugging, performance tuning)
• YARN, Oozie, and Zookeeper
• Experience with cluster management tools like Ambari, Cloudera Manager, or similar.
• Proficiency in Linux/Unix system administration and shell scripting.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a focus on incident management and RCA.
• Familiarity with Kerberos, Ranger, or other security frameworks within Hadoop.

Education

• Regular MCA or Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or equivalent experience.

Nice to Have

• Exposure to cloud-based big data platforms (AWS EMR, Azure HDInsight, GCP Dataproc).
• Basic understanding of Python or Scala for log analysis and automation.
• Experience with Kafka, Airflow, or other data orchestration tools.
• Knowledge of ticketing systems (ServiceNow, JIRA) and ITIL processes.
