Staff Software Engineer (Java) – Scalable Columnar Database

Job Description

• You will be joining a cutting-edge company where you will tackle extraordinary challenges and work with the very best in the industry.

Qualifications

• You’re passionate about building high-scale elegant and simple distributed systems - and during the past several years you’ve successfully designed & implemented them (using Java or similar), to solve complex problems. • You enjoy a collaborative development process using design discussions and code review. • You’re looking for a challenge that doesn’t just require you to emuse technologies like Kafka and Cassandra, but require you to emrebuild them because they didn’t meet the project requirements. • You possess solid foundation on horizontal scaling, data algorithms and knowledge of modern databases/data stacks such as DynamoDB, Redis, and/or Druid. • You have experience with SaaS processing cloud scale data. • You can identify relevant algorithms in the literature & bring them into production when they fit. • You can discuss CAP theorem tradeoffs and give examples. • You enjoy writing modern Java (we love lambdas) and prefer composition to inheritance. • Garbage collection doesn’t faze you because you know the JVM like the back of your hand. You can rattle off the available garbage collectors and their tuning parameters.
