Senior Software Engineer – Compute Engineering

We are hiring across multiple engineering levels. Final level alignment is determined by experience, technical expertise, demonstrated impact, and interview performance. 

Join the Compute Engineering organization, which builds the scheduling, capacity, and performance systems that run our platform across private and public cloud. 

 What you get to do in this role:

• Write and maintain software-defined, declarative infrastructure for compute at scale, with build systems, services, and automation that are specified, documented, and testable. 
• Build and improve components of the compute scheduler and resource-management systems, including placement, prioritization, and preemption. 
• Build tools for capacity data collection, forecasting, and reporting across private and public cloud. 
• Write performance and load tests, and help detect regressions in scheduling latency and throughput. 
• Research and adopt open-source and commercial tools and methods that improve compute efficiency and reliability. 
• Collaborate with networking, orchestration, and SRE teams on integration and design. 
• Take part in design reviews and on-call rotations, and contribute to post-incident improvements. 
• Use AI tools to speed up development and analysis, and help identify where ML can improve capacity or placement decisions. 

Level expectations 

• Senior Level : Delivers well-defined features and components with guidance. Writes, tests, and debugs code independently within a system, and takes their work through to production. 
• Staff Level : Owns a component or feature area end to end, including scoping and design. Leads design discussions for a team, mentors IC3 engineers, and identifies risks before they become incidents.
