Senior Software Engineer - Application Traffic team

The shape of it

In the posting’s own words

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Application Traffic team , you will design and build the systems that power Databricks’ service-to-service communication across thousands of clusters in a multi-cloud environment. You will also help create abstractions that hide networking complexity from product teams, making connectivity, discovery, and reliability seamless by default.

What it asks for · 6

• BS (or higher) in Computer Science or related field
• 5+ years of experience designing and building large-scale distributed systems
• Strong proficiency in one or more languages such as Java, Scala, Go, or C++
• Experience with service-oriented architectures and large scale distributed systems
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and container/orchestration technologies (Kubernetes, Docker)
• Track record of shipping infrastructure that supports mission-critical workloads at scale

What the job covers

• Ingress Control Plane : Build the control plane for Databricks’ global ingress layer. Enable programming of API gateways with static and dynamic endpoints, simplify service onboarding, and make it easy to expose APIs securely across clouds.
• Service-to-Service Communication : Design scalable mechanisms for service discovery and load balancing across thousands of clusters. Provide networking abstractions so product teams don’t need to worry about underlying connectivity details.
• Overload Protection : Build intelligent rate limiting and admission control systems to protect critical services under high load. Ensure reliability and predictable performance for both customer-facing and internal workloads.
