Job Description


Hadoop / MapR 6.1 Data Engineer

Type: Contract
Location: Chandler, AZ
Work Setting: Hybrid


Overview

We’re hiring experienced Data Engineers to support a legacy HPE MapR 6.1 / Hadoop environment during a major platform transition.

As full-time team members move to future-state solutions, this contract position will focus on stabilizing, maintaining, and ultimately retiring the current environment. This is a hands-on engineering opportunity—not an administrative position.

You’ll play a key part in ensuring business continuity while systems are transitioned and decommissioned.


What You’ll Do

  • Support and stabilize the existing MapR 6.1 / Hadoop environment

  • Apply critical HPE patches and system updates

  • Perform lab testing before production deployments

  • Configure environments using internal distribution tools

  • Troubleshoot large-scale, distributed data systems

  • Assist with decommissioning and retiring legacy applications

  • Partner with internal engineers during the transition

  • Document processes and support knowledge transfer as needed


What You’ll Bring

Required:

  • Strong hands-on experience with MapR 6.1 (must-have)

  • Enterprise-level Hadoop engineering experience

  • Deep understanding of data pipelines, clusters, and distributed systems

  • Experience patching, testing, validating, and deploying updates

  • Proven troubleshooting experience in large-scale data environments

Preferred:

  • Experience supporting legacy system retirement or data migrations

  • Experience with internal/custom configuration or distribution tools

  • Strong documentation and knowledge transfer skills

  • Ability to adapt in fast-moving transition environments

Nice to Have:

  • Cloud experience (Google Cloud or similar)
