What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior SW Engineer, Data Infrastructure position at Roberts Recruiting?
The Data Infrastructure team is responsible for the various datastores we use, including MySQL, HBase, ElasticSearch, and Kafka. We aim to provide four nines (or better) of reliability for all of these, as well as to help our developers use them easily and safely.
We spend a lot of time building automation, tooling, and monitoring to equip developers to understand and optimize their datastore usage and minimize the impact of any operational issues on customers and developers alike.
We’re also operationally responsible for a huge volume of traffic to and from these datastores. Our HBase clusters serve over 3 million requests/second across 220 tables, while our ElasticSearch clusters serve over 20k searches/second and 50k indexes/second to 90 billion documents. Streaming that data to and from applications amounts to more than 3 GB/sec of data through our Kafka clusters, with hundreds of producers and consumers.
If you’re:
- Experienced with some or most of our datastores (MySQL, HBase, ElasticSearch, Kafka) as a user and/or operationally
- Excited to build great tools for developers so they can work faster and more reliably
- Interested in working with and supporting infrastructure at scale
- Eager to learn and grow
Get in touch! We’d love to talk to you about our data infrastructure team.
