Hiring guide
Hadoop engineers manage large-scale distributed data infrastructure used in enterprise AI systems. Many companies also hire Hadoop engineers for cloud migration projects — modernising legacy data platforms to Spark, Databricks, or cloud-native solutions.
Is Hadoop still used in AI companies?
Yes, primarily in large enterprises with existing Hadoop infrastructure. Many companies also hire Hadoop engineers to lead migration projects to Spark, Databricks, or cloud-native data platforms.
Should I hire a Hadoop engineer or a Spark engineer?
If you have existing Hadoop infrastructure, a Hadoop engineer who knows Spark is ideal — they can manage the current system and plan the migration. For greenfield projects, Spark on Databricks or a cloud-native platform is almost always the better starting point.
