In Data Science, the Big Data Developer is the role most similar to that of a Software Developer. A Big Data Developer is an IT professional who is responsible for creating, testing, implementing and monitoring applications designed to meet an organisation’s strategic goals.

Big Data works on the principle that the more you know about something, the more reliably you can make predictions about what might happen in the future. Evidently, this has huge implications for technology and businesses, and the demand for skilled Big Data Developers is projected to rapidly grow. 

A Big Data Developer will be an expert in Big Data software such as Hadoop, Hive and MapReduce, that allows developers to interpret theories, debug and optimise data.

A Big Data Developer is primarily responsible for the actual coding or programming of Hadoop applications. A Big Data Developer should be skilled enough to manage the complete Hadoop solution lifecycle, including platform selection, designing technical architecture, requirement analysis, application development and design and more. A Big Data Developer will be well versed in other technologies like Apache, Spark, SQL, NoSQL, MongoDB, Cassandra, programming languages like Java or Python, Machine Learning algorithms and so on.

Big Data Developers play a critical role in explaining the ‘bigger picture’ to decision-makers. Therefore, Big Data Developers have huge value, across all industries. Salary for a Big Data Developer is likely to vary depending on experience and the role itself, with Big Data Developer roles in Australia likely to offer more.
