Cloud Architect (Zagreb)
Complex problems require the right expertise! One of the biggest challenges today is the correct storage and processing of data taking into account these three domains (3Vs): Volume, Speed, and Variety.
At Xpand IT, the Big Data technology area develops and implements data platforms and architectures capable of responding to the growing challenges of data-driven companies. We are, therefore, specialists in distributed storage and computing paradigms, in their different flavours, mainly in terms of the cloud, a market in continuous expansion. Of these paradigms, we highlight Spark (eg Cloudera, Databricks, HDInsights, DataProc) and Kafka (eg Confluent, EventHubs, PubSub), and the majority of reference data architectures (eg Azure Functions, Azure DataFactory, AWS Lambda, GCP Cloud Compose).
