Computer Software
Responsibilities
You’ll work with a globally distributed team of experienced engineers focused on distributed indexing and query capabilities of Lucene
You'll be an expert in the engine area and everyone will turn to you when they have a question
You'll improve those areas based on your questions and your instincts
You'll be a full time Lucenia contributor, building data intensive new features, fixing exciting bugs and increasing the testing coverage, all while making the code easier to understand
Sometimes you'll need to invent a new algorithm or data structure, or find one and implement it
Sometimes you'll need to get close to the operating system and hardware
You'll work with community members from all over the world on issues and pull requests, sometimes triaging them and handing them off to other experts and sometimes handling them yourself
You'll write idiomatic modern Java and possibly Rust!
Qualification
Required
You have strong core Java skills and are conversant in the standard library of data structures and concurrency constructs
Excellent understanding of concurrent and parallel programming principles
Proven background in applied data processing (data structures, algorithms)
Familiarity with low-level abstractions in OS
You work with a high level of autonomy, and are able to take on projects and guide them from beginning to end. This covers both technical design and working with other engineers to develop needed components
Solid software engineering foundations, with proven track record of designing and delivering high-quality solutions
Comfortable developing collaboratively. Giving and receiving feedback on code and approaches and APIs is hard! Bonus points if you've collaborated over the internet because that's harder. Double bonus points for asynchronous collaboration over the internet. That's even harder but we do it anyway because it's the best way we know to build software
You've used several data storage technologies like Elasticsearch, Solr, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, or Cassandra and have some idea how they work and why they work that way
Excellent verbal and written communication skills. Collaborating on the internet is hard. We try to be respectful, empathetic, and trusting in all of our interactions. And we'd expect that from you too
Preferred
You've built things with Luence before
Worked on index and search data structures technology
Have experience designing, leading and owning cross-functional initiatives
Worked with open source projects and are familiar with different styles of source control workflow and continuous integration
Past working experience with database, search engine, OS or cloud service development
