About the role:
As a Senior Software Engineer on the fully distributed Starburst Galaxy Reliability, Scalability, & Efficiency team, you’ll own the reliability, scalability and efficiency (performance/$) of Starburst Galaxy IaaS/SaaS as we grow. You will help design and build core infrastructure around Trino of the Galaxy Product itself, as well as build “the machine that builds the machine” that is used to operate our SaaS at scale. Daily tasks will include developing the backend infrastructure related to product features, building operational tooling, supporting our product in production, and driving collaboration with various stakeholders around the reliability, scalability and efficiency of Starburst Galaxy.
On the Core Infrastructure team, you will ensure the reliability and scalability of the Starburst Galaxy infrastructure as we grow to meet the demands of our customers. You’ll own the apis for provisioning and upgrading cloud infrastructure across AWS, Azure & GCP.
On the Delivery & Enablement team, you will enable the engineering organization to iterate on Galaxy confidently with maximum velocity, and minimum disruption. You’ll own everything from continuous delivery to the tooling to provision and maintain developer environments.
On the Observability team, you will provide comprehensive tooling, and the underlying infrastructure primitives, for the introspection and administration of the Starburst Galaxy product. This requires modifying both Trino and Starburst Galaxy services to maximize introspection while owning infrastructure that ensures that relevant data is surfaced in an accessible way to both internal and external customers.
As a Senior Software Engineer you will:
- Develop and optimize the reliability, scalability, and efficiency of Starburst Galaxy service
- Design and build the core operational infrastructure of the Starburst Galaxy service following the immutable cloud infrastructure paradigm
- Continuously improve our engineering processes, tests, and systems that allow us to scale the code base and productivity of the team
- Provide considerate and timely review of your peers' pull requests and design proposals
Some of the things we look for :
- Passion for software engineering, an interest in Infrastructure Engineering in particular
- Cloud infrastructure architecture and orchestration experience
- Experience developing software in Java and Typescript
- Experience with infrastructure as code and related tooling such as Pulumi or Terraform
- Prior experience in developing for or operating Trino is a huge plus
- Demonstration of ownership, grit, and bias for action - core values at Starburst
- Ability to Travel: This role will require occasional in-person travel for purposes including but not limited to new hire onboarding, team and department offsites, customer engagements, and other company events. Actual travel expectations may vary by role and business needs.
Where could this role be based?
