Advanced Analytics Data Engineer with Hadoop, Spark, R, Python

Our technical teams deliver new IT solutions and improve existing applications for both our internal and external clients. We deploy changes into the production environment in a controlled and structured way that doesn't compromise production stability and we ensure applicative production support.
Our non-technical people maintain the maturity of the IT project delivery with appropriate controls in line with the groups' risk appetite and reducing development and running costs.
Within IT, the Big Data Analytics team supports the needs for advanced analytics from all the entities of the Company Group. As a competency center for analytics, the team helps to transform data into insight using techniques such as text mining, process mining, network analytics or predictive modelling.

Role:

The team is currently looking for a Data Engineer whose core objectives will be:

  • Act as a liaison between the team and other stakeholders, within IT division and contribute to support the Hadoop cluster and the compatibility of all the different softwares that run on the platform (Spark, R, Python, ...).
  • Experiment new tools and technologies related to data extraction, exploration or processing. (eg. OCR engines)
  • Depending on his/her skills, the new data engineer may also be involved in the analytical aspects of data science projects.
  • Identify the most appropriate data sources to use for a given purpose and understand their structures and contents, if necessary with the help of SMEs.
  • Extract structured and unstructured data from the source systems (relational databases, data warehouses, document repositories, file systems, ) prepare such data (cleanse, re-structure, aggregate, ) and load them onto Hadoop.
  • Actively support data scientists in the data exploration and data preparation phases where data quality issues are detected and liaise with the data supplier to do root cause analysis.
  • Where a use case is meant to become a production application, contribute to the design, build and launch activities.
  • Ensure the maintenance and support of production applications. (watch duty)
