Engine (C++) Engineer II - Unified Search

About the Role:

We are looking for a colleague to develop and maintain a specialized execution environment that serves as a backend target for compilers also maintained within the Unified Search team.  This execution environment is written in C++ and expert level experience with C++ is essential.

What You'll Do:

• Design and develop highly performant runtime for a low latency event-driven architecture

• Collaborate with colleagues focusing on language and compiler design

• Own features from design to delivery to sustained care after release

• Serve as low level execution and performance expert for the team

• Collaborate with other teams on cross functional design

• Understand the larger system architecture and its impact on development and design

What You'll Need:

• Expertise with C/C++ particularly in developing and debugging a kernel level asynchronous event driven codebase

• Kernel module development such as device drivers or kernel mode components

• Willing to develop for multiple operating systems including but not limited to Windows macOS and Linux

• Testing : unit testing integration / end-to-end testing and associated automation

• Deliver and accept feedback with grace and courtesy

• Experience in multi-threaded concurrent systems development : what problems do concurrent systems pose and how do you solve them?

• Comfortable working in a distributed environment with multiple time zones

Bonus Points:

• Experience developing code within a well-defined information architecture

• Code optimization and performance assessment/profiling/testing

• Familiarity with reading assembly language specifically x64 and/or ARM.

• Experience with Python

• Prior experience developing design tools tests and/or test automation.

• Prior experience with pytest Jenkins or Bamboo in a CI/CD environment

• Knowledge of low-level operating system internals for one or more of our supported platforms (including Windows macOS and Linux).

• Experience with real-time and/or embedded operating systems.

• Experience developing software for high-assurance safety critical or life critical domains

• Experience with developing for cloud-based or other highly concurrent highly distributed systems

• Familiarity with one or more query/business intelligence languages (SQL Splunk SPL etc.)

• Familiarity with generative or formal software methods : model based development domain specific languages formal modeling (As an example we've used tools like TLA+ Agda and domain specific languages in the past to ensure safety and robustness in our designs.
