About OpenCore

OpenCore is an IT consultancy located in Germany. We're focused on everything Big Data, Hadoop, Cloud and other new technologies.

With this focused and specialised approach we're amongst the worlds first in this area. We promise to deliver only the best quality. What helps us here is over 10 years of experience in this area. When we started all of this the term "Big Data" didn't even exist.

Our customers are companies of all sizes and industries, mostly in Germany but also abroad (mostly Europe). OpenCore has different roles in these projects, always with a focus on Big Data / Open Source. For this, we could use your help!

We value participation in Open Source projects and are Committers in a few projects ourselves (Apache HBase, Apache Hive, Apache ORC) and support any and all participation in these projects.

We're looking for new colleagues and are looking forward to your application!
