Summary of the role

You will work in the Data Science team in Madrid (Spain) or Nice (France), with a group of people from academic, research and industry backgrounds, who come from Spain, France, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Croatia, Ukraine, Lithuania, Morocco, South Korea, Vietnam, Indonesia, Brazil and Argentina (and that’s nothing compared to Amadeus, where people of 123 nationalities work together to shape the future of travel). In addition, Amadeus is home to data engineers, data scientists and developers of all kinds, based in different sites around the world. In the Airlines Data Unit, we regularly meet together in informal workshops where we exchange “life hacks”, we learn together about new technologies, best practices and new developments in the travel industry.

Main responsibilities

As a Data Engineer, you will develop and deploy Big Data solutions on Amadeus’ Business Intelligence Platform, combining Hadoop, Spark, Cloudera Impala, writing code in Scala, Python, and transforming a bulk of messy data into knowledge that can be consumed via the web.

You will work with airlines distributed across the globe. One week you will be developing a new solution on Spark for an airline based in Asia, the next week you will be deploying a new web based tool for an small airline in the Pacific and the next one you will be investigating the most recent Big Data technologies to make our products even better. The work we do is as diverse as we are.

You will be working:

· In a multicultural environment, using English as the primary language (but we speak many other languages too!)
· In contact with many other teams in our department and across Amadeus: sales, marketing, product management, consulting, customer support.
· Facing and meeting customers in new implementations and deployments.
· In a company that is the largest travel industry investor in Research & Development in Europe.
· With lots of opportunities to develop your skills further thanks to the access to an excellent training catalogue, plus regular specific trainings our team organizes for data scientists and data engineers.

Requirements

· You have 3-5 years working as a software engineer, big data developer or similar role. You have been working in a research group, at university, etc, instead of industry? That’s fine: talk is cheap, show us your code!
· We are looking for people who are eager to learn new languages, technologies, with a proven track of being a fast learner. Let’s be honest, finding people with the exact match of skills we need is going to be nearly impossible. So show us what you have done and what you have learnt in your work experience.
· Do you have a profile in Github, StackOverflow, or similar sites? We would love to have a look!
· Don’t know Scala/Impala/whatever yet? That’s not a problem, you will learn it with us.
· Education: you have been studying to become an engineer? A physicist? A mathematician? Anything related to sciences or engineering? Tell us more about your degrees. At Amadeus, we value people that hold a PhD (and we would love to hear about your research work at the interview if you hold one).
· Others: In your job as data engineer, you will use: Linux and optionally (your choice) MacOS as your daily work operating system, writing, maintaining and using shell scripts. Hadoop and Spark, writing code in Scala. Cloudera Impala, to load and query huge distributed databases using SQL. Git, with Github and Bitbucket, to write software in coordination with in a team distributed across the globe. JIRA and Confluence, our corporate collaboration tools.

Our diversity commitment: equality, diversity and inclusion are part of who we are. We’re committed to equal opportunities and treatment regardless of age, ethnicity, gender, beliefs, sexual orientation or disability.
