Big Data Systems

PHP jobs that specify Big Data Systems involve the architecture, development, and maintenance of the entire infrastructure designed to handle large-scale data. Unlike roles focused purely on data analysis, these positions are centered on building the foundational platforms that enable data collection, storage, and processing at scale.

Architecting for Scale and Performance

Developers working on big data systems are responsible for creating fault-tolerant and highly available services. This often involves designing microservices-based architectures, implementing distributed databases, and ensuring the seamless flow of data through complex pipelines. The focus is on system reliability, scalability, and efficiency.

Essential Technologies and Tools

• Expertise in PHP and modern architectural patterns.
• Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure) and services like S3, Redshift, or BigQuery.
• Knowledge of containerization with Docker and orchestration with Kubernetes.
• Proficiency with distributed databases and data warehouses.
• Familiarity with monitoring and logging tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, or the ELK Stack.
