Job Description

The role involves designing, implementing, and maintaining a high-performance, large-scale distributed batch compute engine to support Aurora's autonomous vehicle software development, focusing on resource scheduling, workflow management, and system resilience.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, implement, and maintain core components of the distributed batch compute engine BatchAPI.

  • Create high-level workflow abstractions for defining, deploying, and managing complex data processing, simulation, and ML training pipelines.
  • Solve complex distributed computing problems such as locking, throttling, and fair-share scheduling to ensure multi-tenant stability.
  • Drive continuous improvements in performance, scalability, and resilience of the compute infrastructure, including monitoring and alerting systems.
  • Collaborate with infrastructure and product engineering teams to gather requirements, provide expertise, and integrate compute workflows.

Requirements

  • Five years of professional software engineering experience.
  • Deep expertise in Golang for core systems and Python for SDK API layering.
  • Strong understanding of distributed systems fundamentals, including CAP theorem, consensus algorithms, or gossip protocols.
  • Experience with performance profiling and tuning, such as memory management, I/O bottlenecks, or network latency optimization.
  • Specialized knowledge of container orchestration systems like Kubernetes.
  • Proven track record of driving continuous performance, scalability, and resilience improvements in production environments managing critical data.
  • Familiarity with cloud provider compute and data services, such as AWS EKS, S3, and RDS.
