- Exposure to distributed systems and large scale environments deployed at scale, both "on-premise" and in "cloud".
- Experience with Linux deployments hosted by cloud service providers such as AWS and GCP.
- Excellent problem solving, collaboration and communication skills, both verbal and written.
- Participated in designing and estimating sprint sized software deliverables.
- Actively involved in peer reviewing of product code and other artifacts.
Responsibilities:
- Code server-side application for data collection, indexing, clustering and other distributed systems.
- Build robust, fault-tolerant distributed systems in a multi-threaded, multi-process environment.
- Analyze, identify and resolve the bottlenecks of distributed systems, data pipeline, multi-threaded coherency and other complicated scenarios.
- Analyze and improve the scalability of data collection, storage and retrieval.
- Collaborate with peers and seniors in your team to break down sophisticated features into bit sized tasks.
- Interact cross-functionally with other partners such as PMs, SREs, Devops, and support engineers.
- Participate in rotating on-call duties to diagnose and fix customer issues.
What we provide
- A team of incredibly capable and dedicated peers, all the way from engineering to product management and customer support.
- A stable, collaborative, and supportive work environment. We work in an open environment, work together to get things done, and adapt to the changing needs for the team. We keep it real by being open and honest. We are a collaborative team that understands the value in open communication—it's how we interact with our customers.
- Balance. We don't expect people to work 12-hour days. We want you to be successful outside of work too. We trust our colleagues to be responsible with their time and commitment, and believe that balance helps cultivate a positive environment.
- Fun. We are committed to having every employee want to give it their all, be respectful and a part of the family, and have a smile on their face while doing it.
We value diversity at our company.
