Senior Software Engineer (Backend) - Content Lake DX

About The Role

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Content Lake Developer Experience team, you will be responsible for building highly scalable and performant distributed systems that provide core content creation and querying capabilities. You will tackle challenging scalability problems, such as serving millions of requests per minute while ensuring content remains up-to-date and fresh. This may involve experimenting with smarter caching strategies, optimizing search store usage, or developing novel indexing solutions from scratch.
