Computer Engineer

Job Description

What You Will Do

Collaborate with a seasoned startup and engineering team to push the boundaries of compute infrastructure.

Develop software spanning our network stack, focusing on profiling and optimizing latency, reliability, and performance metrics of our checkpoint, migrate, and resume system.

Gain profound insights into the physics of modern compute architecture by profiling bottlenecks in network, memory, interconnects, CPU, and GPU, understanding the hierarchy of compute architecture.

Work extensively across networking stacks in low-level systems, containers, and clusters, addressing cross-node and cross-system networking challenges.

Create internal tools and methodologies for simulating complex network dynamics.

Build and enhance our internal storage migration system at both kernel and user space levels.

Optimize network checkpointing, migration, and manipulation of network connections in flight.
