For those looking at or considering market trends in the Boston Software Engineer job market – one of the biggest trends that has been emerging for the past 12-18 months has been the Big Data/NoSQL world and all the related open source tools – Hadoop, MapReduce, Pig, Hive, Cassandra etc.
With Yahoo! being the catalyst and Ebay having huge success with their deployment, I’m finding many startups in the Boston, MA area looking at building ground-up, new products with some mix of these technologies.
With the Hortonworks/Eric Baldeschwieler/Cloudera types leading the charge — and data growing exponetnially in the coming years, I see HUGE opportunities for candidates to get into the action.
With that in mind, The Bivium Group has launched a new jobs category to highlight this fast growing area in the Software Engineering jobs market in Boston —- > http://bit.ly/pab66L
