About the Team :

Find out if this opportunity is a good fit by reading all of the information that follows below.

Our team is responsible for developing and maintaining an industry-leading goal-seeking repair engine designed to ensure tenant health across instances and maintain optimal host utilization. This sophisticated system not only continuously monitors and heals infrastructure but also supports extensibility by enabling labor services to be pluggable, paving the way for the open sourcing of the Allocation Engine.

We play a critical role in defining the authoritative signal for workload tenant health and performance, ensuring workloads operate within their declared SLAs. This serves as the key contract between product and platform : while the platform has the freedom to implement infrastructural changes, it must always honor the SLA requirements. Our work results in a unified repair engine that spans all layers of the stack, including physical networking.

The repair engine is the cornerstone of maintaining steady-state health and serves as the gatekeeper for granting permissions to other systems making changes. At its core, our team is the guardian of tenant health, ensuring a reliable and resilient platform for all workloads.
