You will have a strong and solid knowledge of software engineering principles and practices.
Proven experience in developing data processing applications using Scala and Python 3.10+ is essential.
A strong understanding of software engineering best practices, design patterns, and the ability to write highly maintainable and readable code is required.
You will demonstrate professional expertise in understanding and implementing OO design patterns, developing container-based applications in a microservices architecture, using state-of-the-art software engineering best practices.
Expertise with Big Data Hadoop platforms like Databricks, Cloudera, Teradata, etc., and a solid fundamental understanding of the Hadoop architecture are necessary.
