The role involves building and scaling the Acceldata Open Data Platform, focusing on observability, coding, debugging, and collaborating with teams and the open-source community.
About the Role: We’re hiring a software engineer to build and scale the Acceldata Open Data Platform (ODP) - an enterprise-grade, open-source, aligned platform that powers cloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments. You’ll work on deep technology challenges, from distributed systems to observability, helping global customers modernise their platforms without lock-in.
This role offers the opportunity to build cutting-edge data solutions, influence the open-source ecosystem, and collaborate with industry experts. Your contributions will have a lasting impact on both the data platform and the broader open-source community.
What You’ll Do
- Proficiency in programming languages such as Java, Python, Scala, or Go is preferred. Experience with distributed computing and high-performance applications is also highly desired.
- Work across diverse environments: Hadoop, Kubernetes, Snowflake, Databricks, and multi-cloud platforms.
4+ years of experience in software engineering, with at least 2-3 years actively contributing to open-source projects, ideally within the Apache ecosystem.
What We’re Looking For
- Ability to work in fast-moving, customer-facing environments where impact is direct and visible.
- Strong coding, debugging, and troubleshooting skills to resolve issues, enhance software applications, and ensure smooth deployment.
- Communicate effectively with senior leadership, presenting technical accomplishments and strategic insights.
- Strong ability to collaborate with internal teams, external contributors, and the broader open-source community.
Why Join Us
•Impact at scale: Work on critical systems for Fortune 500 companies.
•Open & modern stack: No vendor lock-in, Apache-aligned innovation.
•Learning & growth: Solve problems across performance, reliability, cost, and cloud adoption.
•Flexibility: Cloud, hybrid, and on-prem - ODP is designed for today’s enterprise reality.
•Ownership: You’ll have end-to-end responsibility, not ticket-taking.
