You’ll deploy, upgrade and operate the core services of the platform: HDFS, S3-compatible object storage (Apache Ozone), Iceberg and others. You’ll start by helping run an infrastructure pilot that changes how the platform is used: a small number of very large datasets will become thousands of small tables. You’ll introduce compute and storage quotas for business units, migrate us from the default Iceberg catalog to a more capable one (Lakekeeper or Gravitino), and rebuild monitoring and alerting so alerts mean something again. You’ll work closely with an engineer who runs the same stack in a parallel contour. You’ll share approaches and solutions with them and cover for each other. Our infrastructure runs on the latest versions of everything, and we actively replace outdated tools. The role suits an experienced engineer who wants real ownership and a big say in architecture.\nRequirements\n5+ years of experience designing, deploying and operating big data platforms.\nHands-on experience with HDFS / Hadoop: deployment, version upgrades, troubleshooting.\nHands-on experience deploying and operating S3-compatible object storage. Apache Ozone is ideal, but MinIO or similar solutions also count.\nExperience with Apache Iceberg.\nExperience setting up monitoring and alerting for data infrastructure.\nEnglish B2.\nAbility to work in the GMT+3 time zone (up to 3 hours difference).\nNice to have\nExperience with Trino, Kafka or Flink.\nExperience with Iceberg REST catalogs (Lakekeeper, Gravitino, Polaris or similar).\nExperience setting up resource quotas and cost allocation in a multi-tenant data platform.\nHands-on use of AI tools, such as Copilot or agents, to speed up your work.\nBenefits\nFlexible schedules and opportunity to work remotely.\nAmbitious and supportive team who love what they do, appreciate each other, and grow together.\nA structured onboarding, a personal development plan, and regular internal lectures and demos from the team.\nInternal programs for adaptation and training, development of soft skills, and leadership abilities.\nPartial compensation for participating in external training and conferences.\nCorporate English school: Group and individual lessons, speaking clubs with colleagues from all over the world.\nCorporate prices on hotels and travel services.\nMyTime Day Off - an extra non-working day without loss of compensation.","description_format":"text","description_chars":2530,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Upper-Intermediate (B2)","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Flexible schedule"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Kazakhstan","iso":"KZ","kind":"country"},{"name":"Poland","iso":"PL","kind":"country"},{"name":"Serbia","iso":"RS","kind":"country"},{"name":"Georgia","iso":"GE","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Travel Agencies","Travel Technology"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-12T16:49:57Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":40,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-13T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/emergingtravel-big-data-infrastructure-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/emergingtravel-big-data-infrastructure-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-13T13:29:25Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"assistant_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2792,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-14T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":447862},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=447862"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Femergingtravel-big-data-infrastructure-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Femergingtravel-big-data-infrastructure-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Femergingtravel-big-data-infrastructure-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/emergingtravel-big-data-infrastructure-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Femergingtravel-big-data-infrastructure-engineer"}]}
