Job Description:
Senior Principal Software Engineer Are you interested in being
part of a small team 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 full stack.
Join us as we pursue our exciting new vision to make machine data
accessible, usable and valuable to everyone. We are a company
filled with people who are passionate about our product and seek to
deliver the best experience for our customers. At Splunk, we're
committed to our work, customers, having fun and most importantly
to each other's success. Learn more about Splunk careers and how
you can become a part of our journey!
What We Offer You: Wow, I want that
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 more
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.
What You'll Do
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 apply SPL2 to heterogeneous data sources by translating it
to other query languages.
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 an 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.
Knowledge, Skills and Abilities: I've already done that or have
that
Hands-on experience developing and debugging on any object oriented
language like C++, Java, C#, Kotlin, etc. on a professional
basis.
A good understanding of existing query languages like SQL, SPL
etc.
A good foundation in data structures, algorithms, software design,
and architecture of modern distributed systems.
Strong software engineering practices, testing, using distributed
source control, and continuous integration and delivery.
Experience crafting and delivering software as a service and
working with cloud infrastructure services such as AWS EC2, S3,
Kubernetes, etc. is desirable but not required.
Experience working in language design, compiler building, and
abstract syntax trees is a plus.
Expert level experience with query languages.
You have experience in query language design, query mapping,
language translation, ASTs, visitors, optimizers, query
compensation, manipulating expression trees, conceptualizing
complex queries etc.
Expert level experience producing query abstractions
You have extensive experience creating and/or maintaining advanced
query abstractions like LINQ, Spark or Flink.
Demonstrated ability to design simple and clear APIs for complex
functionality
You have empathy for developers and expert skills in producing APIs
that allow downstream developers to write beautiful code.
Desire to Learn and Adapt. We have a lot of projects going on at
once, and you'll have to learn to navigate the code and features.
You'll constantly be learning new areas and new technologies.
Passion. Our customers are passionate about Splunk, and we want the
same from our engineers. We want you to actively own your work and
be excited about your projects.
Ability to work with multiple programming languages. We have code
in several languages, ranging from Go and Java to Python and
JavaScript. In this position you'll be mostly using Java, Go with
occasional C/C++.
