Project Manager
Complex problems require the right expertise! Today one of the biggest challenges is data storage and processing, across these three main domains (3Vs): Volume, Velocity and Variety.
At Xpand IT, the Big Data technological area develops and implements architectures and software solutions that represent the state of the art on the capture, ingestions, process, enrichment, storage and management of critical data from huge clusters where the 3Vs are always present. In what concerns the technology stack, we take advantage of almost every state-of-the-art framework in the Big Data ecosystem, such as Spark, Kafka, Hive/Impala, Azure Data Services, MongoDB using Java and Scala as the programming languages to interact with them.
