Denodo Technical Architect

Position: Denodo Technical Architect

Location: Weehawken, NJ (Onsite)

Experience level: 8-10 Year

Must have skills: Denodo tech SME/Architects, Databricks, Azure

Candidates with the Denodo architecture + MPP + caching + Azure installation combination required by requirement.

MPP is Multi Parallel Processing systems like BigQuery, Snowflake, etc

Caching is part of Denodo Optimization technique

MPP is outside denodo, about the Source systems that connects to Denodo

Important Notes:

Query Performance improvements

Denodo row and column level entitlements implementation and data classifications implementation strategy

DR Strategy - Warm/ Warm, Warm/ Cold , Infrastructure, Release process for MPP, maximum recommended views in one DB and release only the views that are changed

Review Data Sources Cert/Password Management

API bundling and hosting outside of Denodo

Understand more on Data Lineage Capabilities

Review specific use cases and opportunities to optimize

Denodo 9 enhancements and opportunities to refactor existing code/processes

Please focus on someone who knows the Denodo architecture, MPP systems, Caching and performance strategies and optimization with large volume of data. That is key.

Candidates should demonstrates the solid, hands-on expertise required to lead Denodo architecture. This includes practical experience with configuration and comfort with installations in Azure

Looking for a Data Architect with deep expertise in Denodo and MPP systems to lead performance optimization initiatives.
