We headhunt engineers who master the entire data lifecycle. Whether you are maintaining on-premise clusters or migrating to the cloud, our candidates bridge the gap.
We go for developers who are proficient in Apache Kafka, AWS Kinesis, and Flume to handle high-velocity data entry before it even hits the databa
We source candidates with expertise in Apache Spark (using Scala or Python) and Apache Flink. They know how to optimize memory usage to prevent costly cloud bills.
Our talent bridges the gap between traditional HDFS and modern object storage like Amazon S3, Azure Blob Storage, and Google Cloud Storage.
The candidates we headhunt are developers who treat data pipelines like code (Version Control, CI/CD, Containerization with Docker/Kubernetes).

“DJ is phenomenal. They find amazing candidates, make hiring extraordinary devs easy. Think of it as having a top recruiter, HR, and payroll departments in dozens of countries.”
“DistantJob took the time to talk about the job description and explore what was important to us. They came back with a great candidate on the first try!”
“I can easily say that I’ve never worked with a more dedicated, patient, and productive developer. DistantJob made the remote engagement painless. Win-win!”
“We have 3 employees from DistantJob right now. Phenomenal. For the dollar value that we are spending, we are far ahead of what we would find locally or offshore.”
“Hiring through DistantJob (…) surpassed my expectations. I had no opinion before, neither for [remote work] or against, but this experience definitely put it on the radar for me.”
“DistantJob is great for helping you find technical folks especially when your local area doesn’t have the right pool of talent for the job.”
“The remote developers presented by DistantJob] delivered a caliber of quality, skill and technical expertise, beyond my best expectations, far exceeding our local team members.”
“Working with DistantJob made everything about recruiting a highly technical employee easier and cost-effective.”
As a leading remote IT recruitment agency, we care that our clients take part throughout the hiring process. Why? Because for us, hiring a qualified candidate is not only about the skills and abilities, but it’s also about how candidates match with your company’s culture.
As soon as you talk with us or fill our form, the first thing we do is analyze your company. We want to understand your culture and the type of people you value working with.
In 2 weeks, you’ll start reviewing people that match your requirements. We focus on providing you 3-5 top candidates instead of giving you an endless list.
Once you select the candidate, we handle all the contracts, NDA’s and payments from day 1.
We proactively source across global markets and triage applicants based on their expertise, salary band, U.S. time-zone overlap, English fluency, and long-term availability.
A recruiter assesses English proficiency, async communication, culture add, motivation, and availability. We verify work history and stability (no serial short stints).
We don’t use generic coding tests. We give candidates scenarios involving “Data Skew,” node failures, and multi-terabyte processing jobs to see how they optimize for performance and cost.
Senior engineers run a live session to walk through design trade-offs, testing approach, and deployment basics.
We speak with past stakeholders and review code artifacts where possible. We confirm achievements, ownership level, and reliability in distributed teams.
We align on start date, hardware/security constraints, preferred collaboration tools, and, when needed, relocation logistics inside the US.
Lack of commitment. Legacy code can be frustrating. Freelancers often abandon these projects when they find “easier” work. DistantJob places full-time, dedicated employees who are integrated into your team and committed to the long-term stability of your project.
Yes, the shortlists prioritize dependable overlap and strong async communication.
Yes: global contracts, NDA, payroll, benefits, and compliance are included.
You’re covered by our money-back and replacement guarantees.
It depends on your infrastructure.
Hire a Hadoop Developer if you manage on-premise clusters (Cloudera/Hortonworks) and need deep knowledge of HDFS internals, YARN resource management, and Java-based MapReduce.
Hire a Data Engineer if you are building modern pipelines using Spark, Airflow, and Cloud Data Lakes.
Note: Our senior candidates often cover both roles.
When you partner with DistantJob for your next hire, you get the highest quality developers who will deliver expert work on time. We headhunt developers globally; that means you can expect candidates within two weeks or less and at a great value.
Increase your development output within the next 30 days without sacrificing quality.
