## About the role

About the Role: We are looking for a Senior Solutions Consultant with deep Hadoop knowledge and strong enterprise presence. You'll be the principal technical owner of ODP deployments - responsible not just for standing up the platform, but for guiding a customer's infrastructure, security and database teams to the right architectural decisions, and for making those decisions stick in environments where security and change control are non-negotiable.

## What they're looking for

- Deep architectural knowledge of the Apache Hadoop ecosystem (HDFS, YARN, MapReduce, Hive, ZooKeeper)
- Strong Linux system administration on RHEL and/or Ubuntu , with a real command of network configuration, firewall rules and system tuning
- Practical experience with enterprise security: Kerberos (KDC), SSL/TLS, LDAP/AD and Apache Ranger
- Comfort operating within the platform's runtime stack (Java and Python) for configuration and troubleshooting
- Excellent communication skills - able to explain hard technical trade-offs clearly to both engineers and senior stakeholders - and the autonomy to drive complex work with little supervision
