A career in IBM Software means you’ll be part of a team that transforms our customer’s challenges into solutions. Seeking new possibilities and always staying curious, we are a team dedicated to creating the world’s leading AI-powered, cloud-native software solutions for our customers. Our renowned legacy creates endless global opportunities for our IBMers, so the door is always open for those who want to grow their career. IBM’s product and technology landscape includes Research, Software, and Infrastructure. Entering this domain positions you at the heart of IBM, where growth and innovation thrive. We’re looking for talented software engineers with a passion for a systems-oriented view of software engineering. You’ll be challenged with untangling complex knots in code-bases and concurrent systems, with expertise in Java or other C-lineage languages (Scala, Kotlin, C#, C++, Rust, etc). A gut passion for quality, elegance, performance and simplicity in solutions and code is critical in this role. If you’re comfortable in navigating multi-threaded, large distributed systems at scale this will be a great fit. This role is part of the engineering teams that develop our database products, Astra (our multi-cloud database-as-a-service), and on-premises DSE/HCD which are all based on Apache Cassandra. Our products are used by many major organizations across the world! What you will do: ● Develop new features, enhancements, and bug-fixes on our highly scalable, multi-tenant, database products. ● Collaborate extensively with internal teams across to coordinate releases, support existing customers through defect fixes and improvements, and review/advise on documentation for the project. ● Potentially contribute to Cassandra NoSQL database management system, which handles large sets of data. ● Model solid engineering practices around architectural design, testability, scalability and maintainability.
