About the Team
We are building an enterprise-grade big data infrastructure platform, similar to AWS EMR, Databricks Runtime, and Google Dataproc. Our mission is to provide a highly scalable, cloud-native, and reliable computing platform for large-scale data processing and AI workloads.
This role focuses on the framework development, performance optimization, stability engineering, and cloud-native transformation of open-source distributed computing engines such as Hadoop, YARN, HDFS, and Spark. This is NOT a data development, ETL development, or business analytics role.
- Design, develop, and maintain enterprise-grade big data infrastructure platforms (EMR-like Platform).
- Develop and enhance distributed computing frameworks, including Hadoop, Spark, YARN, and HDFS.
- Build service capabilities for big data engines such as Spark, Hive, Presto, and Flink.
- Drive cloud-native transformation by integrating big data engines with Kubernetes and related ecosystem components.
- Optimize cluster performance, resource utilization, scheduling efficiency, and workload throughput.
- Improve platform stability, reliability, and observability for large-scale production environments.
- Troubleshoot and resolve complex performance bottlenecks and distributed system issues across large-scale clusters.
- Contribute to the evolution of big data platform architecture and infrastructure best practices.
- Bachelor's degree or above in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
- Strong experience in distributed systems and big data infrastructure development.
- Hands-on experience with Hadoop, Spark, HDFS, YARN, Hive, Flink, Presto, or related open-source computing frameworks.
- Experience building or operating enterprise-grade big data platforms such as AWS EMR, Databricks Runtime, Google Dataproc, Huawei MRS, Alibaba Cloud E-MapReduce, Tencent Cloud EMR, or similar platforms.
- Experience with Kubernetes and cloud-native deployment of distributed computing engines (e.g., Spark Operator).
- Experience operating or developing large-scale clusters (1,000+ nodes) is highly preferred.
- Strong understanding of distributed system architecture, performance tuning, resource scheduling, and stability engineering.
- Proficiency in Java, Scala, Go, or C++, with solid software engineering fundamentals.
- Contributor or Committer experience in Apache Hadoop, Spark, Flink, or related open-source communities.
- Experience designing cloud-native big data infrastructure or containerized compute platforms.
- Experience optimizing large-scale production clusters for performance, stability, and cost efficiency.
- Familiarity with modern observability, monitoring, and distributed system troubleshooting.
Candidates may come from teams such as:
- AWS EMR
- Databricks Runtime
- Google Dataproc
- Alibaba Cloud E-MapReduce
- Tencent Cloud EMR
- Huawei MRS
- Apache Hadoop / Spark Committer
- Spark Core Development
- Large-scale Distributed Systems or Cloud Infrastructure Teams
