Software Engineer @ Splunk (splunk.com) | SF, San Jose, Vancouver, UK (pretty much everywhere -- just ask) | ONSITE | Full-time
HI! We need you to help us take the SH outta IT.
Is big data your muse? Is it something that engages you? Gives you a sense of accomplishment? Splunk is a personal Google for your data. Customers index terrabytes of data -- EACH. Everyday thousands of us help build the BIG DATA future. Come join us, build a career and that future.
Responsibilities: You'll investigate, tear apart, and rebuild server code. Customers come to our team when they have serious issues and need engineering changes to resolve them. Sometimes the issues are easy (don't run splunk on a 3,200 RPM disk) and then they can get serious (there's a kernel bug we need to work around).
There are a lot of moving parts and if you take joy being the colossus that rises above it all and saving the day, then email us your resume!
We use C++, JavaScript, NodeJS, & Python, our platform is deployed in AWS, around the world, and underwater.
ps: We also need Product Managers/PM! SOMEONE has to tell us what to build!!!

- dang 9y agoPlease don't post gunk in this thread. It's top heavy enough as it is.
- dang 9y agoPlease don't use visual gimmicks in the posts here. I'm sorry to say that I took out your ASCII pony, but think of the arms race it could lead to.
- DrScump 9y agoI took out your ASCII pony At least it wasn't a unicorn.
- workatsplunk 9y ago:'( We're a passionate bunch at Splunk and this ad is meant to show that; ANYTHING to keep us from being yet another generic software job ad. We were channeling tptacek's great ads for Matasano. Is there a guideline on what is acceptable in these ads? We don't know what you mean by gunk, or top-heavy.
- dang 9y agoThere's no comprehensive list of guidelines; if there were, people would start doing all the things not listed. But if you just stick to straightforward description you should be fine. As a bonus, that's what HN readers tend greatly to prefer, and it leaves plenty of room for creativity. The visual gimmick thing comes up every month but really isn't fair to the other users posting here. By gunk I meant fluffy comments like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16285856 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16285856, which don't really belong on HN. They wouldn't be harmful if there were just one or two, but they tend to proliferate to the point where the site would be smothered by fluff if we let it. And the Who Is Hiring thread is a particularly bad place for them.
