Role guide

What to expect in remote Spark jobs

Apache Spark is the standard engine for large-scale data processing at AI companies. Remote Spark jobs involve building PySpark pipelines, optimising Spark jobs for performance and cost, and integrating Spark with Databricks or cloud platforms for ML data preparation. Engineers with Spark expertise are foundational to any data-intensive AI team.

What you'll work on

  • Build PySpark ETL pipelines that process large-scale ML training datasets
  • Optimise Spark job performance — partitioning, caching, broadcast joins
  • Develop Spark Structured Streaming pipelines for real-time ML feature computation
  • Integrate Spark with Databricks Delta Lake for reliable large-scale data processing

What companies look for

  • PySpark DataFrame API proficiency and SQL optimisation
  • Spark performance tuning — executor configuration, shuffle optimisation, skew handling
  • Databricks or EMR deployment and cluster management experience

Frequently asked questions

What remote Spark jobs are available on RemoteAI?

Data engineering and ML data pipeline roles where Spark is the primary processing engine. Most require PySpark alongside Databricks or EMR deployment experience.

Is PySpark the standard for remote Spark engineering roles?

Yes. The vast majority of remote Spark job listings specify PySpark (Python API) rather than Scala Spark. Scala Spark knowledge is a plus but rarely required.
