We are seeking a highly skilled and visionary Principal Application Development Engineer to join our Core GridServer Infrastructure team. DataSynapse GridServer is the backbone of our high-performance computing (HPC) environment, driving massive parallel processing, distributed resource management, and critical enterprise analytics.
In this role, you will be a hands-on technical leader responsible for architecting, scaling, and modernizing our GridServer infrastructure. You will design next-generation distributed applications, optimize low-latency throughput, and lead the migration/integration of grid workloads into hybrid cloud environments.
Key ResponsibilitiesArchitecture & Technical LeadershipSystem Design: Lead the architectural evolution of the GridServer platform to ensure high availability, fault tolerance, and seamless horizontal scaling.
Cloud Modernization: Drive strategies to integrate traditional GridServer workloads with modern cloud-native topologies (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and container orchestration platforms (Kubernetes).
Best Practices: Establish, promote, and enforce rigorous engineering standards, code reviews, and design patterns across the development lifecycle.
Core Development: Design and develop highly concurrent, distributed services, APIs, and middleware interfaces utilizing Java, C++, or C#.
Performance Tuning: Diagnose and resolve complex bottlenecks related to network latency, memory management, CPU utilization, and distributed data serialization.
Dynamic Scheduling: Optimize GridServer engine allocation policies, broker mechanics, and workload scheduling algorithms to maximize cluster utilization.
Cross-Functional Alignment: Partner with DevOps, Infrastructure, Security, and internal business units to translate complex business requirements into scalable grid solutions.
Mentorship: Guide and mentor senior and mid-level engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence and continuous learning.
Distributed Systems: 12+ years of experience designing and maintaining large-scale distributed architectures, enterprise grid computing, or clustering technologies.
Grid Middleware: Direct, deep technical experience with DataSynapse GridServer (TIBCO GridServer) architecture, including custom Driver/Broker/Engine configurations and scheduling policies.
Programming Languages: Expert-level proficiency in Java and/or C++, with a strong command of multi-threading, concurrency models, and low-level memory management.
Operating Systems & Networking: Deep understanding of Linux/Unix internals, TCP/IP networking, socket programming, and high-performance storage systems.
Cloud & Containers: Proven experience containerizing grid workloads using Docker and managing them via Kubernetes (EKS/AKS).
Industry Context: Background in financial services (specifically quantitative risk, derivatives pricing, or high-frequency trading platforms) where high-performance grid computing is critical.
CI/CD & Automation: Experience with modern DevOps toolchains (Jenkins, GitLab CI, Ansible, Terraform).
Exceptional analytical and problem-solving abilities dealing with abstract, systemic issues.
Strong communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts to both executive stakeholders and engineering teams.
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a highly quantitative field (or equivalent professional experience).
