Description

Join us as we pursue our disruptive new vision to make machine data accessible, usable and valuable to everyone. Splunk is a company filled with people who are passionate about our products and strive to provide the best experience for our customers. We're committed to our work, customers, having fun, and most meaningfully to each other's success.

We are seeking a passionate engineer to join our group, Data Platform. Our team designs distributed systems to collect and analyze high volumes of machine-generated data at scale. We are proud of owning what we build even after it's deployed to production. We ensure code hygiene, use open source libraries, employ continuous integration and delivery, and have a strong belief in automated testing at multiple levels (unit, integration, system). We are uniquely positioned as a globally distributed team with team members in a variety of locations.
Requirements:

• Develop and debug client-server system software written in C++ and/or Golang
• Experience in distributed systems and large scale environments deployed at scale, both "on-premise" and in "cloud".
• Experience with Linux deployments hosted by cloud service providers such as AWS and GCP.
• Excellent problem solving, collaboration and communication skills, both verbal and written.
• Mentored junior engineers in their development skills via code reviews and design discussions.
• Owned features or sub-systems end-to-end from design to deployment and continuous improvement..

Responsibilities:

• Develop server-side applications for data collection, indexing, clustering and other distributed systems.
• Build robust, fault-tolerant distributed systems in a multi-threaded, multi-process environment.
• Analyze, identify and resolve the bottlenecks of distributed systems, data pipeline, multi-threaded coherency and other complicated scenarios.
• Analyze and improve the scalability of data collection, storage and retrieval.
• Interact cross-functionally with other partners such as PMs, SREs, Devops, and support engineers.
• Participate in rotating on-call duties to diagnose and fix customer issues.

What we provide

• A team of incredibly capable and dedicated peers, all the way from engineering to product management and customer support.
• A stable, collaborative, and supportive work environment. We work in an open environment, work together to get things done, and adapt to the changing needs for the team. We keep it real by being open and honest. We are a collaborative team that understands the value in open communication-it's how we interact with our customers.
• Balance. We don't expect people to work 12-hour days. We want you to be successful outside of work too. We trust our colleagues to be responsible with their time and commitment, and believe that balance helps cultivate a positive environment.
• Fun. We are committed to having every employee want to give it their all, be respectful and a part of the family, and have a smile on their face while doing it.
