We are looking for a Software Engineer to join our Splunk Cloud Infrastructure team to help scale and secure our new global SaaS offerings. This role will report to the Senior Engineering Manager for the cloud infrastructure team. Our Engineers are experienced in designing and building a secure network infrastructure and services that provide a critical foundation to Splunk’s Cloud SaaS platform.

What you'll get to do

  • Develop and deploy software that will help drive improvements toward the availability, performance, efficiency, and security of Splunk’s services. Technologies include Kubernetes, DNS management, GSLB/Anycast, Load Balancing (IPVS, L4, L7), API Gateways and Service Mesh (Istio), IP address management (IPAM), and TLS infrastructure.
  • Work with cloud providers to integrate their networking products into our ecosystem. You will develop and extend a control plane to scale and secure Kubernetes deployments and their traffic ingress requirements on various cloud computing platforms (Amazon AWS, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure).
  • Drive for automation. Adopt and master new technologies that will help you automate routine tasks and free up time for innovation. You will be applying a variety of languages used in systems programming, ranging from Go to Python to Terraform.
  • Distributed systems programming. Debugging distributed systems like CDNs, Kubernetes infrastructure, databases, data replication, etc.
  • Knowledge of technical excellence. Routinely use continuous delivery, testing, and security best practices.

  • Keeping calm and carrying on. Capable of navigating through a product outage, skilled in identifying performance bottlenecks, spotting anomalous system behavior, and figuring out the root cause of incidents.

What we provide

  • A stable, collaborative, and supportive work environment. We work in an open environment, work together to get things done and adapt to the changing needs of the team. We keep it real by being open and honest. We are a collaborative team that understands the value in open communication-its how we interact with our customers.
  • Growth Opportunities and mentorship. We are always expanding into new areas and exploring new technologies. A team of technical leaders and peers always helping and training one another in technical spheres. We believe in growing engineers through ownership and leadership opportunities.
  • Breadth and depth. You are interested in working on an area that dynamically scales to meet the needs of Splunk’s cloud offering. You want to go deep into optimizing how we automate every manual process and tedious task we encounter.
  • Balance. We don't expect people to work extended hours. We want you to be successful with a remote-first approach to day-to-day work. We trust our colleagues to be responsible with their time and commitment, and believe that balance helps cultivate a positive environment.
  • Fun. We are committed to having every employee want to give it their all, be respectful and be a part of the family, and have a smile on their face while doing it.
