Job Title: Developer with Functional Programming Expertise

We are seeking a highly skilled developer with a strong background in functional programming and distributed data processing. This role involves designing, implementing, and optimizing scalable systems that leverage functional paradigms, concurrent processing, and modern runtime architectures.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain high-performance, reliable, and distributed applications using functional programming principles.
  • Work with Spark in DataBricks, ensuring resilience and elasticity in large-scale deployments.
  • Build and optimize data-intensive workflows using Apache Spark or comparable frameworks.
  • Utilize solid knowledge of runtime environments, execution contexts, and pure functional design to deliver predictable, testable software.
  • Collaborate with teams to design architectural solutions based on a sound understanding of distributed and parallel data transformation.
  • Write efficient, maintainable code in Python.

Must-Have Qualifications

  • Strong hands-on experience in functional programming using one or more paradigms, such as:
    • ETL pipelines,
    • Actor model systems (e.g., Akka, Apache Pekko),
    • Category theory–based systems, or
    • Map-reduce frameworks.
  • Real-world experience with Apache Spark or similar libraries/technologies (e.g., Apache Flink, Cats/Cats Effect, Hadoop, Kafka Streams).
  • Solid understanding of runtime systems, execution contexts, and pure functions.
  • Deep understanding of compiled, JIT, and interpreted execution models.
  • Proficiency in Python and in one of Scala, Java, C/C++, or Rust.

Nice to Have

  • Experience applying functional programming principles in Python.
  • Experience designing and maintaining ETL pipelines.
  • Familiarity with Databricks, Delta Live Tables (DLT), or Delta Sharing.
  • Exposure to Power BI or other BI tools.
  • Understanding of projective programming concepts and graph query models.
  • Background working in Linux and Azure environments.
  • Additional experience with Scala, TypeScript, C++, Rust, Haskell, or SQL.
