Software Developer 4

As a member of the development team you will analyze and propose solutions to complex problems
in distributed applications.
Design, develop, troubleshoot and debug software for programs ranging from compilers, kernel, system software for the database and cloud, to applications including AI agents. As a member of the team, you will take an active role in developing high-performance and scalable software solutions. You will implement solutions that leverage, exploit and tie-together disparate elements of the software stack. Your solution will meld together compilers, kernel and OS sub-systems with those inside the application layer in innovative and non-obvious ways. You will implement non-obvious solutions, API and architectures in C/C++ that will be used as the underpinning of a database applications. Your designs will simplify and abstract out access to complex underlying systems for developers to leverage in their end-user applications. This will allow development of applications that scale better, respond faster to changes in workload and perform better than the existing competition. The resulting designs will enhance either the functionality and/or performance of the overall product.
As a developer you are constantly questioning the status-quo and looking to advance the limits of your product and add new functionality. Your insights will lead to the development of new techniques that will automate solutions to manual and complex non-obvious problems. Your solutions will be at the intersection of compilers, operating systems and user-space applications. You will leverage advanced machine learning algorithms to quickly learn and adapt to non-obvious patterns in the underlying logs and data-flow. You will spend your time reading papers to advance your knowledge of state-of-the-art techniques and apply them to enhance the software stack.

Career Level - IC4

The ideal candidate will be a generalist with a repertoire of core skills that have broad applicability across the software stack. The candidate will be fluent in reading, writing, re-factoring and fixing large scale system written primarily in C/C++. He/she will be comfortable with writing design-documents, self-documented code and test-cases. The developer will focus on delivering a high-quality product with aggressive timelines. Specifically he/she should posses the following skills:
- Experienced in reading/writing/re-factoring C/C++ code.
- Reasonable familiarity with shell scripting, python, perl and java.
- Compiler workflow. Proven capability of compiler migration for large scale projects.
- Provable experience delivering features in open-source compilers such as gcc and clang.
- Experienced in open-source compiler backends like llvm.
- Familiarity with Intermediate Representations (IR) including LLVMIR and MLIR.
- Ability to read and interpret assembly code for AMD64, ARM64, POWER and Z-series.
- Experienced with static and run-time compiler based performance techniques.
- Ability to multi-task and make progress on both maintaining existing code-base and developing
futuristic projects.
- Read, present and write advanced technical papers.
- Maintain and enhance relationships with key stakeholders across the organization internally and externally.
