About The Role

You will assist in continuously keeping LogScale scaling by developing new features as well as improve existing functionality. As a member of the new US based engine team you will focus on the LogScale engine that makes LogScale scale. Some of the critical elements that the team is working on improving is the query execution engine that makes the LogScale queries be lightning fast. The team is also working with our internal “global” data storage using Kafka and the storage engine that ensures data is stored in the right number of replicas as well as on the correct nodes and in bucket storage such as S3. You will be playing a crucial role in ensuring that LogScale can continue with its successful durability and high availability. You will be doing this together with your colleagues, which consists of other engineers with a strong passion for the product.Teams in LogScale have a great amount of autonomy, and own a part of the LogScale experience, from ideation and development to deployment and feedback. This includes ensuring high quality of the features they deliver, by writing automated tests, and performing manual tests. Moreover, we do not just throw over features to our operations teams, but we constantly observe and monitor new features in production, with LogScale dashboards of course.An important part of our work is making sure that LogScale continues to be scalable in terms of efficiently ingesting and digesting events, querying for the right data, while also ensuring the stability of the clusters. The LogScale backend is written in Scala, but we do not expect you to be proficient in Scala, as there will be room to learn as you build on your expertise from other programming languages.As a software engineer, we expect you will be working with challenges with unclear and open solutions.
