Software Engineer, Systems

Position Title: Software Engineer x2

Position Overview

The Infrastructure Systems Engineering team is responsible for building our private cloud infrastructure which currently primarily supports our database test system: A system that runs over 7.25 million tests per month, writes petabytes to storage daily, and is expected to grow by multiple times over in the next few years.

As a Software Engineer, Systems, you will be tasked with the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of systems at lower abstraction levels. You’ll collaborate closely with a small, highly skilled team to drive a careful balance between battle-hardened best practices and creative innovation in an environment that embraces working from first principles, celebration of failure, and egoless technical discussion.

• Practice principles of distributed leadership - being comfortable shifting between leading, collaborating with, and following your peers on different projects
• Own your systems end-to-end from design to production.
• Work closely with other teams to ensure the successful integration and operation of our infrastructure systems.
• Do your part to foster an environment where people take chances because they aren’t punished for mistakes and improve over time because they learn from not just their mistakes but those of others.
• Enable fact-driven decision-making by deferring to the data or code in question whenever possible.
• Drive continuous improvement in system reliability and usability.
