The Infrastructure Systems Engineering team is in the midst of building our
next-generation private cloud infrastructure as part of a greenfield initiative
to in-house existing internal use cases on public cloud and support new
initiatives. The historical deployment primarily supported our database test
system: A system that runs over 7.25 million tests per month, writes petabytes
to storage daily, and we’re currently scaling multiple times in the next year
alone.
As a Software Engineer, Private Cloud 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 setting that embraces working from first principles,
celebration of failure, and egoless technical discussion.
Role And Responsibilities
