 Senior Software Engineer - Compute

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer with deep expertise in building container orchestration platforms for our Compute team. You will be a key player in the development of a Kubernetes compliant container orchestration platform on the edge, focusing on the challenges of scalability, low-level systems integration, network virtualization and reliability. This role requires hands-on experience with container runtimes like Docker, deep knowledge of virtualized networks and Anycast, and a strong understanding of low-level Linux operations. As we’re building an container orchestration platform the focus for the role is on engineers who have built and scaled similar platforms, not just used them. Proficiency in .NET/C# is highly desirable as our development is centered on these technologies.

What will you do?

• Design and Build Platform: Architect, design, and build a Kubernetes-compliant container orchestration platform on the edge, with a focus on scalability, performance, and reliability.
• Develop and Integrate Container Runtimes: Implement and integrate container runtimes such as Docker and containerd, ensuring they work seamlessly within the platform.
• Implement Virtualized Networks: Utilize your deep understanding of Networking to develop and maintain virtualized networks and Anycast.
• Optimize Network Routing: Implement and optimize Anycast routing to ensure efficient distribution of traffic across multiple server locations, enhancing the platform’s performance and reliability.
• Low-Level Systems Engineering: Work extensively with low-level Linux systems, including cgroups, network namespaces, and other containerization-related components.
• Write and Optimize Code: Write high-quality, efficient code in C#, ensuring that the platform is robust and maintainable. Optimize performance and ensure the system can scale effectively.
• Collaborate Across Teams: Work closely with cross-functional teams to design and deploy new features, providing technical leadership and mentoring to other engineers.
• Own and Lead Projects: Take full ownership of complex, unscoped projects, leading them from concept to completion while navigating any technical challenges that arise.
• Automate and Streamline: Automate deployment, monitoring, and maintenance processes to enhance the efficiency and reliability of the platform.
• Troubleshoot and Resolve Issues: Identify and resolve complex issues related to the platform, leveraging your deep technical expertise in container orchestration and Linux systems.
• Stay Ahead of Industry Trends: Continuously update your knowledge on the latest technologies and trends in container orchestration, edge computing, and related fields.

What will you add?

• Platform Building Expertise: Extensive experience in building container orchestration platforms, with a deep understanding of the challenges involved in scaling these systems.
• Container Runtimes Proficiency: In-depth experience with container runtimes like Docker and containerd, beyond just usage—knowing how to integrate and optimize these within a larger platform.
• Network Virtualization and Anycast: Strong experience with virtualized networks, experience implementing and managing Anycast for scalable network performance.
• Low-Level Linux Mastery: Comprehensive knowledge of low-level Linux systems, including experience with cgroups, network namespaces, and other core components of containerization.
• Kubernetes Compliance: While the primary focus is on platform building, a solid understanding of Kubernetes and its ecosystem is necessary to ensure compliance and integration.
• .NET/C# Experience: Proficiency in .NET/C# for platform development, with the ability to write clean, maintainable, and efficient code.
• Messaging and Caching Expertise: Experience with RabbitMQ or other message brokers, and Redis or similar caching systems, to ensure efficient communication and data retrieval across the platform.
