As a Senior Engineer on the WarpStream team at IBM Software, you will join a small, distributed group responsible for an Apache Kafka compatible data streaming platform built on object storage with zero local disks. You will work across the entire stack, from bashing bits at the network level to developing the user interface. Key responsibilities include building mission-critical backend services, improving multi-tenant control plane scalability, and implementing features like transactions and active-active multi-region clusters. You will troubleshoot complex issues involving microservices, containers, and virtualization while ensuring operational readiness across AWS, GCP, and Azure. Required skills include proficiency in Java, Go, C/C++, or Python, along with deep expertise in distributed systems, storage systems, and high-performance backend engineering to solve complex data streaming problems at scale.
