Our group within Teradata Labs (Teradata Center for Hadoop) is an active contributor to the SQL on Hadoop open source project PrestoDB. We're looking for senior software engineers to join us in bringing PrestoDB to the enterprise!
Here is our technology stack:
- Presto is entirely written in Java 8
- Administrative and infrastructure support tools are written in Python
- We use Git for source control
- We are big believers in continuous integration so we run builds and tests continuously on Jenkins
- We use Chef, Vagrant, Docker and Cobbler for automated installation and environment provisioning
- We work with various distributions of Hadoop
As a Senior Engineer you’ll be responsible for the following:
- Building new functionality into Presto to increase enterprise adoption
- “Thinking at Scale” and being a performance conscious engineer
- Applying strong familiarity with algorithms and complexity analysis, database systems, and distributed systems concepts
- Writing unit, integration, and system tests that run in our continuous integration environment
- Collaborating with teams members to solve engineering problems
The Teradata Center for Hadoop was established through the acquisition of a startup (Hadapt) and so the culture and feel of our office is still very much that of a startup.
PM me if you're interested :)
Amen.
Your thoughts are a great extension of what I had in mind, agree with everything you said.
When I was your age I had days and even weeks during my summer breaks when I would get bored out of my mind. Believe it or not there's some benefit in that. It allowed me to find new ways to entertain myself and definitely boosted/developed my creativity. Try to get bored every once in a while, it feels nice :)
