Manager cluster operations: node additions/decommissions, repairs (node tool), backups and disaster recovery. Monitor cluster health using tools such as Prometheus/Grafana, OpsCenter, or equivalent. Support CQL query development and advice application teams on best-practice access patterns. Collaborate with infrastructure and security teams on hardening, encryption (at rest/in transit) and authentication/authorisation (RBAC) Produce technical documentation including data models, runbooks, and operational procedures. Knowledge & Experience: Degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Business Administration, or a related field. Proven experience in NoSQL database engineering ,with strong production expertise in Apache Cassandra. Strong proficiency in keyspace and table design, data modelling aligned to query patterns, replication strategy, and consistency tuning. Solid CQL experience and good understanding of Cassandra internals (SSTables, memtables, commit log, compaction, gossip, tombstones). Hands-on experience with cluster operations including node additions/decommissions, repairs, backups, and disaster recovery (node tool). Experience with cluster sizing, capacity planning, and multi deployments. Strong Linux administration and scripting skills (Bash/Python).
