Job Title: Cassandra Developer

We are seeking an experienced Cassandra Developer to join our team and play a critical role in the design, implementation, and maintenance of our data infrastructure. This position requires a highly skilled professional with a deep understanding of Apache Cassandra, data modeling, and distributed databases. As a Cassandra Developer, you will work closely with cross-functional teams to build and optimize scalable, high-availability databases that meet the evolving needs of our business applications.

Key Responsibilities:
  1. Design and Development

    • Develop, optimize, and maintain Cassandra databases, ensuring alignment with business and technical requirements.
    • Create and implement data models that effectively store and retrieve data based on application needs.
    • Write efficient CQL (Cassandra Query Language) queries and procedures to meet application requirements.
  2. Performance Tuning

    • Optimize database performance through indexing, caching, partitioning, and query optimization.
    • Monitor and manage Cassandra cluster performance, identifying bottlenecks and ensuring low-latency data access.
    • Perform troubleshooting and root cause analysis to resolve performance and scalability issues.
  3. Database Maintenance and Support

    • Perform routine maintenance, such as upgrades, patching, backup, and recovery for Cassandra clusters.
    • Ensure database availability, security, and integrity across development, testing, and production environments.
    • Maintain a proactive approach to monitoring and alerting for potential database issues.
  4. Collaboration and Documentation

    • Collaborate with DevOps, Application Developers, and System Architects to integrate Cassandra with application architecture.
    • Document data models, database procedures, and troubleshooting guides.
    • Educate and support development teams in best practices for using Cassandra in applications.
  5. Innovation and Best Practices

    • Stay up-to-date with industry trends and emerging technologies related to NoSQL databases and Cassandra.
    • Contribute to the development of best practices, coding standards, and design patterns within the team.
<>Required Skills and Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field, or equivalent experience.
  • 8+ years of experience in database development and management, with a strong focus on Apache Cassandra.
  • Proficient in CQL (Cassandra Query Language) and able to write complex queries for data manipulation.
  • Experience with data modeling for distributed systems, including data partitioning, replication, and consistency.
  • Strong understanding of Cassandra architecture, including replication, consistency levels, and fault tolerance.
  • Hands-on experience with performance tuning, indexing, caching, and troubleshooting in large datasets.
  • Familiarity with Linux/Unix environments and scripting for database automation tasks.
  • Knowledge of monitoring tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana) and logging for performance management.
  • Solid understanding of NoSQL concepts and how Cassandra fits within a polyglot persistence strategy.
<>Preferred Skills:
  • Experience with big data technologies like Spark, Hadoop, and Kafka.
  • Knowledge of Cloud platforms (AWS, Google Cloud Platform, or Azure) and managing Cassandra clusters in cloud environments.
  • Familiarity with other NoSQL databases (e.g., MongoDB, Redis) is a plus.
