/ Engineering teams

ScyllaDB / Cassandra — Technical sourcing matched to the actual system.

Onectus uses its active engineering network and regional recruiting partners to search against concrete systems, environments and responsibilities. We evaluate practical experience rather than treating a framework mention or certification as proof of delivery. Particular availability and engagement terms are confirmed after an enquiry. For this role, practical knowledge of partition key design, consistency levels, compaction strategies helps define the engineering search.

/ Technical specializations

/ Questions

ScyllaDB / Cassandra — Questions before hiring

01Can you source ScyllaDB / Cassandra engineers with experience in partition key design?

Yes. Tell us the relevant versions, operational environment and the responsibilities connected to partition key design. We qualify hands-on experience during each search.

02Can the role cover consistency levels and compaction strategies?

These can be included when central to the project. We distinguish practical implementation work from general familiarity and ask about failure scenarios and testing.

03How is seniority assessed for ScyllaDB / Cassandra?

We look at production decisions, trade-offs, incident diagnosis, code or infrastructure ownership and the ability to explain decisions without relying on a technology checklist.

04How do we start a search for ScyllaDB / Cassandra?

Share your architecture, technical constraints, collaboration model and priorities. We can then discuss relevant sourcing channels, evaluation criteria and next steps.
