Senior Platform Engineer

Sentient Technologies has built the world’s largest and most powerful intelligent system on the planet. We use massively distributed artificial intelligence to solve the world’s most complex problems.

We're looking for an experienced and passionate platform engineer to join the Distributed Computing team. The Sentient Platform makes effective use of a million cores (outside of data centers), to solve problems in several domains that would be impossible to approach on other platforms.

• 5+ years experience designing and building internet-scale distributed systems.
• Deep experience with at least one OO language like Java, C++, C#, or Python… and a real desire to learn Go.
• A history of building multithreaded and event-driven systems using message passing and message queuing.
• A solid understanding of containers and virtual machines.
• A firm grasp on encryption and security concerns.
• Based in (or relocating to) the SF Bay area (we’re planning to open a South Bay office later this year!)
• Experience building systems across multiple platforms (Linux, OS X, Windows)
• Experience with clouds like AWS, Google Compute, Azure; tools like Vagrant and Ansible; and experience using or contributing to open source technologies.
