Big Data Engineer

The ACQA platform is built on Microsoft Azure cloud computing technology. It aims to deliver scalable cost-efficient infrastructure using cloud PaaS components. The platform offers a single core platform with open architecture designed for change, itemized cost metrics, and automated data lineage. It will be shared across Front Office, Finance, and Risk, improving regulatory compliance. The goal is to create a One-Platform / One-Experience, which is easy to train and operate while retaining talent. The platform consists of components providing next-generation valuation and risk management services. The responsibilities involve developing big data technologies, programming complex production systems, and experience with cloud providers.

Must Have

• Development of big data technologies like Apache Spark and Azure Databricks
• Programming complex production systems in Scala or Java or Python
• Experience in a platform engineering role on a major cloud provider (ideally Microsoft Azure)
• Development and/or operations of CI/CD pipelines using modern cloud-friendly build systems like GitLab
• Experience with containerisation in development, build and runtime environments including experience of Kubernetes

Good to Have

• Production experience with Terraform on a major public cloud provider (ideally Microsoft Azure)
• Python experience
• Testing and instrumentation practices, observability and alerting tooling
• Understanding of information modelling, data structures and algorithms
• Technical architecture and low-level design
• Agile development and planning practices
• Ability to collaborate effectively in a large global team and influence key architectural decisions
