Hire Hadoop developers for batch pipelines that actually finish on schedule.
Large-scale batch processing on Hadoop, HDFS, MapReduce, Hive, and the distributed-systems discipline of a pipeline that has to complete correctly across a cluster, not just run cleanly on a laptop-sized sample.
Batch jobs partitioned and scheduled to finish inside a real processing window.
HDFS storage layout, YARN resource tuning, and job failure recovery.
Hive/Impala schemas designed for the queries actually run against them.
Legacy Hadoop workloads moved to cloud-native equivalents where that's the right call.

Hiring for something adjacent?
Answered before you ask.
Spark has largely replaced raw MapReduce for processing, but HDFS, YARN, and Hive still run production batch workloads at plenty of organizations. We'll tell you honestly if your workload would be better served migrating off Hadoop entirely.
Very large batch jobs where cost-per-terabyte matters more than latency, historical log processing, large-scale ETL, and data warehousing workloads that don't need real-time results.
Yes. Moving from a self-managed cluster to EMR, Dataproc, or a fully managed warehouse is a common engagement, usually justified by lower operational overhead rather than raw performance alone.
Against a representative sample sized to expose partitioning and skew issues, plus monitoring on the first few full production runs, cluster-scale failures rarely show up in a small local test.
Every way out of this hire is already written down.
Not a fit? Replace anyone in the first two weeks. No questions asked, no replacement fee. We re-match from the same vetted pool.
You pay only for engineers who actually start. Seeing candidates costs nothing.
Dedicated and managed engagements run on a monthly rolling contract. Cancel with notice.
You see the number before you commit. Nothing is added on top of it later.
Bring us the pipeline. Three matched engineers in 48 hours.
Tell us the data volume and the deadline it has to hit. We'll scope whether Hadoop, Spark, or a managed warehouse is the honest answer.
We reply within an hour during our working day in India and the UAE.
