ABOUT THE ROLE:
Are you interested in being part of a small team tasked to build the
next-generation industry-leading platform for machine data? Splunk is looking
for a seasoned Software Engineer to join the Data Platform - Search Language team. The Search Language team is tasked to envision, design, and build Splunk's
next-generation Search Processing Language, aka SPL2. We're working on the
cutting edge of language design for data analysis and correlation, evolving an
easy to learn, fluent, and expressive language to search data-to-everything.
Your work will impact all components and services where searches are generated,
stored, processed, and reasoned about across Splunk's suite of products and
services.
We give our engineers an environment in which they can contribute from day one
while also providing learning and growth opportunities. You'll learn how our
entire stack works, from data ingestion and storage to searching, reporting, and
building dashboards, all in distributed environments. The work you’ll do will
directly impact the experience of our customers.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
* You will design and implement new features in SPL2 as well as the opportunity
to define and perform various SPL2 optimizations and /or modifications.
* You'll create a set of language services to enable partner teams to leverage
SPL2 in the next generation of Splunk products and services.
* Contribute to maintaining our build system, codebase, tests, and development
process in awesome shape.
* Work with internal and external customers to refine our team's understanding
of target scenarios and incorporate their feedback into incremental
improvements of our product
REQUIREMENTS:
* You have a BS, MS, or Ph.D. in Computer Science or related engineering
discipline or equivalent practical experience
* BS EE or CS degree; 12+ years related experience (or Masters and 8+ years
related experience or PhD and 5+ years experience).
* 10+ years experience developing and debugging with an object-oriented language
like Java, C++
* Good foundational knowledge in query languages, compilers, parsers, and
optimizers
* Experience optimizing/integrating with data warehouse and data lake queries is preferred e.g.
Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, Apache Spark, Apache Parquet, Amazon Security Lake, etc.
WHAT WE OFFER YOU:
* A constant stream of new things to learn. You'll learn how our whole stack
works, from data ingestion and storage to searching, reporting and building
dashboards, all in distributed environments. We're also always expanding into
new areas like machine learning, bringing in open source projects and
contributing back, exploring new technologies, and seeking new ways to make
our stack developer-friendly.
* Impact. We give our engineers an environment in which they can contribute
from day one while also providing opportunities for learning and growth. The
work you’ll perform will directly impact the experience of each one of our
customers.
* Skilled and dedicated peers, all the way from engineering and QA to product
management and customer support. We are an engineering and product-focused
company. Our engineers take a leading role in designing, architecting,
building and testing our product. As we scale Splunk to new levels, engineers
have delivered critical new features such as data models and pattern
detection, to name a few.
* Breadth and depth. Want to work on an area that spans backend and frontend
and SDKs? SPL2 is that. Want to go deep into optimizing how we translate SPL2
to a database backend to make it as efficient as it can be? Love to design a
new language feature to make performing some complex but commonly used data
operation dead easy? We have that too, and more!
* Growth and mentorship. We believe in growing engineers through ownership and
leadership opportunities. We also believe mentors help both sides of the
equation.
* A stable, collaborative and supportive work environment. We are totally
remote friendly. You can choose to work from a Splunk location or you can be
in any US time zone and work with the rest of the team.
* Work-life balance. We don't expect people to work 12-hour days. We want you
to have a successful time outside of work too. We trust our colleagues to be
responsible with their time and commitment, and believe that balance helps
cultivate an outstanding environment.
