Senior Distributed Systems Engineer

Minimum 7+ years experience in software engineering in a business environment, ideally with a heavy scientific component.

Experience leading the design and implementation of distributed computing systems.

Proven technical skills : Experience with the development of fault-tolerant, resilient event-driven architectures, and building and managing orchestration systems to massively scale cloud-based workloads (serverless, Kubernetes, and/or custom VM fleets). Experience defining and developing persistent data storage for digital artifacts, both with RDBMS and cloud blob storage at scale. Experience ensuring system observability through logging, monitoring, alerting and metrics. Familiarity with software engineering best practices: CI/CD (GitHub Actions or similar), version control (GitHub), containerization (Docker) and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Pulumi). Experience architecting, permissioning and maintaining cloud resources (GCP, AWS). Fluency in Python and SQL are required. Experience with any of the following is a plus: experiment tracking, optimization methods, applied algorithm development, reinforcement learning and other AI/ML techniques, web development, and familiarity with geoscience concepts and applications.
