Senior Staff Engineer, Secure Compute Platform

International Business Machines Corporation; Seattle (WA); Teletrabalho; USD 180 000 - 280 000; Tempo integral

Resumo da oferta

IBM is seeking a Staff Software Engineer to lead the Secure Compute Platform team in building a next‑generation, multi‑tenant, cloud‑native compute platform that safely runs trusted and untrusted workloads at scale. The role centers on Kubernetes, Go, and scalable control planes across public clouds to deliver a unified runtime with strong security guarantees.

You will shape APIs, drive architectural decisions, and mentor engineers while ensuring availability, reliability, and cost efficiency

Qualificações

• 10+ years delivering scalable backend or infrastructure software.
• Proven track record leading large-scale distributed systems.
• Deep Kubernetes expertise, including controllers/operators and multi-region deployments.
• Strong Go programming experience in production services.
• Experience with multi-tenant security and isolation patterns.
• Hands-on with secure container runtimes and Linux internals.
• Experience with gRPC, Protobuf, and API design for service‑to‑service communication.
• Demonstrated technical leadership and mentorship across teams.

Responsabilidades

• Define and drive the technical direction for Secure Compute, including platform architecture, runtime, and security for running trusted and untrusted workloads at scale.
• Design and implement platform APIs and Kubernetes controllers/operators (primarily in Go) that power workload lifecycle, autoscaling, placement, and isolation for containers and serverless‑style functions.
• Partner with product and platform teams to shape and deliver the roadmap for Secure Compute, enabling new customer‑facing features and internal platforms to build on a common compute substrate.
• Deliver high‑impact initiatives in areas such as workload scheduling, failure and disruption handling, private and public networking patterns, rollout strategies, and fleet‑level resource management.
• Lead technical design reviews and influence architecture across teams, ensuring Secure Compute primitives are easy to adopt, safe by default, and aligned with broader platform strategy.
• Mentor and grow engineers on the team through design guidance, code reviews, pair programming, and sharing best practices for secure, reliable, operable platform development.
• Own operational excellence for key Secure Compute services, including availability, reliability, SLOs, performance, on‑call response, incident management, and disaster recovery.
