UK Data Archive
Based at the UK Data Archive, the Smart Meter Energy Research Lab (SERL) is a five year multimillion pound project intended to give researchers access to smart meter data from up to 100,000 UK households. We are going into production soon and need someone to care for and nurture a petabyte scale Hadoop infrastructure. As well as getting exposure to big data technology in a real-world production environment, you will acquire skills around other cutting edge tech stacks like Red Hat OpenShift and ElasticSearch.
Duties of the Role
The Hadoop Systems Engineer is the lynchpin of the SERL data and research infrastructure and ensures that the services that the SERL team provides for researchers are performant and reliable. The scope of responsibility is considerable: proactively monitoring the ingest and egress of data to and from the system, analysing and reporting the health and performance of a petabyte-scale big data ecosystem, ensuring that the development team have the optimal microservice deployment pathways and ensuring that researchers have an optimal secure lab experience.
