Senior Systems Software Engineer

We are seeking a Senior Systems Software Engineer (6+ years experience) with strong expertise in Go (Golang) to build and optimize software running on large-scale edge appliances deployed in theatre networks.

The role requires deep expertise in distributed systems, system-level programming, storage, and performance optimization, especially in environments with network variability and hardware constraints.

• Design and develop high-performance services in Go (Golang) running on edge appliances.
• Build reliable systems for content download, validation, and duplication across devices.
• Handle intermittent connectivity, retries, and fault tolerance in real-world network conditions.
• Debug and resolve complex issues across distributed appliance environments.

• Develop software that interacts closely with OS, disk, and hardware layers.
• Optimize disk I/O, file handling, and storage utilization for large media/content files.
• Work with file systems such as XFS, ZFS, EXT4 for performance and reliability.
• Ensure system stability during OS upgrades, hardware differences, and field deployments.

• Build and maintain systems operating across a 10K+ fleet.
• Implement efficient content distribution, synchronization, and replication mechanisms.
• Ensure data consistency and integrity across distributed nodes.
• Design for scalability, observability, and remote operability of edge devices.

• Integrate appliance workflows with AWS services (S3, EC2, CloudFront, CloudWatch).
• Build efficient and reliable data transfer pipelines from cloud to edge.
• Optimize download throughput, cost, and reliability across large-scale deployments.
• Ensure secure content delivery and storage.

• Optimize system performance for large file transfers, duplication, and storage operations.
• Monitor and tune CPU, memory, disk I/O, and network utilization.
• Identify bottlenecks and improve throughput, latency, and resilience.
• Build systems that can self-heal and recover gracefully from failures.

• Develop tools for deployment, monitoring, and debugging of remote appliances.
• Implement logging, metrics, and alerting for fleet-wide visibility.
• Build automation using Go, Python, or Shell scripting.
• Integrate with CI/CD pipelines for reliable releases.

• 6+ years of software development experience
• Strong hands-on experience in Go (Golang)
• Solid understanding of operating systems, file systems, and storage concepts
• Experience building or working with distributed systems at scale
• Hands-on experience with AWS (S3, EC2, CloudFront, etc.)
• Strong debugging skills in production and distributed environments

• Experience working on edge devices / on-prem systems
• Experience with container orchestration
• Familiarity with content delivery, media systems, or large file workflows
• Exposure to network variability handling (low bandwidth, intermittent connectivity)
• Experience with performance tuning and system-level optimization
• Experience working closely with BSP (Board Support Packages), OS, and hardware layers while developing systems in Go

• Work on real-world distributed systems deployed across different locations
• Solve challenges involving large-scale content distribution and edge computing
• Own critical systems that directly impact content delivery in theatre environments
• Opportunity to work across cloud + edge + system-level layers
