Senior Software Engineer - Alerts & Insights

About the Team:

We are building a powerful intelligent alerting engine to identify key performance and security issues out of the box for applications and infrastructure running on modern cloud services such as AWS, GCP, and Azure. The alerting engine can detect anomalies and outliers, correlate insights that are similar, reduce alert fatigue and put the focus on alerts that are more meaningful and actionable.

Customers are provided with real time notification of insights via email, slack, pagerduty, jira, service now and many other incident management tools.  Our alerting UI helps customers to visualize and troubleshoot all alerts across the customer's environment from a single page, with the ability to instantly view critical details for each one and get the context on the affected entities to quickly debug and resolve the issue.

Come join us on our mission to build an intelligent alerting system with the most powerful AIOps capabilities that can evaluate petabytes of logs, metrics and tracing data in real time and proactively detect, troubleshoot, root cause and resolve performance and availability issues without any human intervention.

What you will be doing:

• Design and implement an alerting system that is extremely high-volume, fault-tolerant, scalable backend systems that can process and manage petabytes of customer data in both real time streaming and batch form.
• Solve complex challenges in low-latency and zero data-loss scenarios that require demonstrated expertise in distributed systems, fault-tolerance, and multi-tenancy.
• Build systems to derive actionable insights and intelligence on petabytes of data using machine learning and artificial intelligence.
• Analyze and improve the efficiency, scalability, and reliability of our backend systems.
• Write robust code; demonstrate its robustness through automated tests.
• Work as a member of a team, helping the team respond quickly and effectively to business need, and mentoring junior engineers on the team

What we need from you:

• BS in Computer Science or related degree with at least 4 years of experience
• Hands-on object-oriented programming experience (e.g., Java, Scala, or C++)
• Proficient knowledge in distributed systems concepts and design.
• Familiarity with one of the public cloud platforms such as AWS or GCP.  
• Excellent verbal and written communication 

Bonus:

• Experience in data analytics and machine learning
