You will be supported by local and remote Product Owners, and you will occasionally be expected to collaborate with colleagues in our UK and US offices. Your chief responsibility will be writing good code, mostly in Java & Kotlin, but we do some work in Golang and there are always other technologies to master.

 

Responsibilities:

The next phase of our growth in Kuala Lumpur will focus on an exciting data analytics project where you will take responsibility to develop and optimize Java applications interacting with HBASE using Apache Phoenix or other abstraction layers to run complex SQL procedures. You will work closely with our Kafka team to ensure seamless integration of our data analytics platform and contribute to the performance tuning of large-scale data processes.  Performance and efficiency are key values for our customers and you will be responsible for continuously improving our already world-leading performance numbers.

 

The responsibilities are varied and may include:

 

Develop, maintain, and optimize Java applications that interface with Apache Phoenix and HBase. Design and implement SQL procedures within Apache Phoenix to support data analytics and reporting requirements. Collaborate with data engineers to integrate HBase-based data storage with other data pipelines. Participate in the full software development lifecycle, including requirements gathering, design, coding, testing, and deployment. Ensure code quality and maintainability through code reviews, testing, and documentation. Monitor system performance and Observability using Cloud Native standards and toolsets. Troubleshoot and resolve performance issues related to HBase and Apache Phoenix.
