This role offers an opportunity to work on building the platform for global-scale data + AI that is secure by default and portable by design.

The position involves working with one of the largest software platforms, consisting of millions of virtual machines that process exabytes of data daily.

The role offers competitive compensation ($192,000 - $260,000 USD) and comprehensive benefits. This is an excellent opportunity for experienced engineers who are passionate about platform thinking, multi-cloud scale, and creating great developer experiences while working on cutting-edge data and AI infrastructure.
