Senior Systems Software Engineer

Role Overview 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 .

Key Responsibilities: Core Development (Go & Edge Systems)

• 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.

Edge Appliance & System-Level Engineering

• 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 .

Distributed Systems & Fleet Management

• 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.

AWS & Cloud Integration

• 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 .

Performance & Reliability Engineering

• 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.

Automation & Observability

• 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.

Required Skills

• 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 Nice to Have

• 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

Why This Role is Interesting

• 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
