The Advanced BigData Analytics Service team’s charter is to build a fully managed, cloud-native service focused on large-scale analytics on (mostly) unstructured data stored in data lakes, and management of the data in the data lakes. The service is based on Apache Spark, Kubernetes, and a number of OLAP extensions on top. The service work scope encompasses not just good integration with OCI’s native infrastructure (security, cloud storage, etc.), but also deep integration with other relevant cloud-native services in OCI (like Data Catalog). It includes doing cloud-native ways of doing service level patching & upgrades, and maintaining high availability of the service in the face of random failures & planned downtimes in the underlying infrastructure (e.g., for things like patching the Linux kernels to take care of a security vulnerability). Developing systems for monitoring and getting telemetry into the service’s runtime characteristics and being able to take actions on the telemetry data is a part of the charter. The platform work involves deep technical deep dives into the various areas – query planning and optimization, query execution, etc., and making the SQL engine really work well in the cloud, and be able to use the cloud’s “infinite” resources and yet be cost-effective.

Responsibilities

• Work with members of the team and participate in the design and development of key features needed to make the Big Data Analytics Services successfully

• Support a highly available and resilient cloud service, and build the supporting systems in/outside Spark to be able to deliver on these

• Contribute to the Apache Spark community as necessary

• Lead feature development work both within OCI and champion the work as necessary in the Apache Spark community and other communities as needed

• Work with the team and outside to get necessary approvals for the architecture and design for the problem at hand

• Experiment with the compute / storage / networking infrastructure as necessary and be able to recommend improvements in the way the service runs in various dimensions of performance, reliability, optimal cost, etc. (cloud native SQL query optimizations)

• Be on top of what’s happening in the Apache Spark and other related communities, and participate in community discussions, events, conferences, etc.

Desired Skills and Experience

• 12+ years of experience in software development, distributed systems, cloud, high scale data systems

• Proficiency in Spark development.

• Experience building Services using Spark.

• Strong programming skills in Java

• Development experience using Cloud native infrastructures like Kubernetes

• Experience working with distributed systems

• Experience with SQL and data management

• Experience with networking

• Take initiative and be responsible for delivering complex software

• Excellent problem solver, analytical thinker and quick learner

• Design, develop, troubleshoot and debug software programs for databases, applications, tools, networks etc.

• BS or MS in Computer Science or a related technical field
