About the Job

Requirements

  • Experience building distributed systems in environments with low bandwidth, high latency, or unreliable communication links.
  • Production experience developing systems in Rust or Go.
  • Understanding of distributed systems failure modes and mitigation strategies.
  • Knowledge of consistency models, coordination strategies, and state replication.
  • Experience designing application programming interfaces and communication layers between distributed components.
  • Experience working within established architectures and delivering production-quality components.
  • Understanding of systems-level concepts including durability, reliability, and operational behavior.
  • Ability to work independently while collaborating with technical leadership.

Responsibilities

  • Design and build distributed systems that tolerate latency, bandwidth constraints, and intermittent connectivity.
  • Implement fault-tolerant communication strategies, retry logic, backpressure, caching, and eventual consistency patterns.
  • Write maintainable, resilient, and tested code following development standards and methodologies.
  • Debug and improve system behavior, including networking and distributed coordination issues.
  • Contribute to systems written primarily in Rust.
  • Work with system-level concerns including scheduling, memory management, input/output optimization, storage hierarchy management, and system reliability.
  • Optimize performance and memory usage in resource-constrained environments.
  • Debug concurrency issues and distributed coordination challenges.
  • Design and maintain application programming interfaces and communication layers between distributed components.
  • Identify and reduce tight coupling across services and systems.
  • Diagnose and resolve cross-system failures in production environments.
  • Design and implement secure, reliable solutions aligned with engineering standards.
  • Collaborate with engineers and computer scientists on operating systems internals, compiler internals, fault tolerance, file system architecture, and trusted systems.
  • Contribute to resolving architectural and systemic issues.
  • Continue developing expertise in distributed systems, high-performance computing infrastructure, and related tooling.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience with high-performance computing environments, exascale computing, or artificial intelligence/machine learning infrastructure.
  • Exposure to operating systems internals, compiler design, or language runtimes.
  • Experience with edge computing or constrained network environments.
  • Familiarity with message queues, event-driven systems, or streaming architectures.
  • Exposure to consensus algorithms or distributed coordination primitives.
  • Experience with concurrency, memory management, or performance optimization in production systems.
  • Experience contributing to developer tooling, internal platforms, or infrastructure-layer components.
