Backend Software Engineer - Entities Team

Entities Team creates a layer on top of raw, machine data, that helps customers to understand what objects that data concerns (EC2 instance? Kubernetes pod? MySQL DB? Application Service?), as well as how are those objects related one to another, how to navigate for a given entity from one source of data to another, correlate problems in one layer caused by another layer etc. What you will do: • Develop features using algorithms that work optimally on very large data sets. These features would run on our backend systems that can handle enormous amounts of customer data, operate with high tolerance for errors, and can scale up as needed. These systems are responsible for managing and processing petabytes of data. • Follow test driven development. • Write robust & re-usable code. • Own a small set of microservices, analyze and improve the efficiency, scalability, reliability and cost for the same. • Work as a member of a cross-geo team, helping the team respond quickly and effectively to business needs. • Act as a primary on-call for owned services, responding to service degradations in a timely manner. • Work remotely with occasional team meetups.
