About Swoop:

At Swoop, we’re on a mission to build the operating system that unlocks the future of critical infrastructure. Systems are reconfigurable and edge assets are capable of serving new purposes. We offer a platform of interoperable products to map, secure, and intelligently orchestrate device infrastructure at the edge. Whether it is legacy or next generation equipment, Swoop allows systems to be interoperable, modernized, and their purposes reimagined all through software. If you want to be a part of shaping the future of critical infrastructure, we’d love to have you join us.

Your Impact:

Joining our infrastructure engineering team, you will be tasked with creating the future of search at the edge of computing. The new generation of search does not end at the results stage. With globally distributed users, and varying network access, our infrastructure team tackles the next generation of distributed systems connecting data to programming at the edge. You’ll have technical exposure to search, indexing, sharding, distributed caching, load balancing, compute resource management and reconfiguration of programmed autonomy. 

What You’ll Do:

• Build and scale our search infrastructure

• Build a mature sharding strategy that will lower costs to customers, enabling faster and more accurate results. Milliseconds truly matter to our customers

• Build a distributed index sharding probabilistically and deterministically. The system must balance the two requirements and associated trade-offs into a single optimized and globally scalable system

• Collaborate closely with the Embedded and Frontend engineering teams, solving technical challenges for various customer requirements 

You Should Have:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Physics, Math, related technical field or equivalent technical experience 

• 4+ years of experience in Distributed Systems, Backend Infrastructure, and/or Performance Optimization

• Experienced Python programmer

• Demonstrated expertise in systematic instrumentation, monitoring, test, and measurement frameworks for infrastructure

• Strong understanding of service oriented architectures & security

Bonus if You Have:

• Experience with database design architecture

• Machine Learning implementation
