Readings are stored from 200,000 sensors, at a rate of up to one per second. A test cluster consisting of 6 servers is already in place and our customer needs assistance to improve this cluster, optimise the configuration, understand any issues, and help to draft operational procedures in conjunction with the operations team in Chile. The candidate shold also assist in finding the optimal schema to store the data in a performant, flexible way. A secondary role would be to modify client code for accessing the data.

A logical and thorough way of approaching problems is essential as is the ability to communicate clearly in English.
