Job Details

Are you an experienced Rust programmer who loves building, deploying,and debuggingdistributed systems?We are seeking software engineers to work on the Oxide control plane,the spinal column of our software that is responsible for managing andprovisioning virtual machines, storage and networking.

Work on a robust distributed system,Omicron , that ships across an air gap toOxide customers running racks in their own datacenters.

Write code mostly in Rust, read code primarily written in Rust with some C. The code you write will be open source, be it in Omicron itself or the many components with which itinteracts, e.g. our block storage service (Crucible ), our hypervisor (Propolis ), our host operating system (Helios ), our embedded operating system (Hubris ),or another of our many software components.

Collaborate with other engaged, friendly, systems-oriented engineers to understand customer use cases and implement the core of the Oxide platform.

Work to understand and improve the performance of the services offered by the Oxide rack.

Develop tools to test and analyze complex systems, including those deployed in production at customer sites. Logging, tracing, and metrics are critical pieces of distributed systems, and youll get the chance to dig into them all.

Have experience shipping software written in Rust

Have experience working on distributed systems

Are energized by the thought of diving deep on neglected (but essential!)distributed systems topics like cluster attestation or live systemsoftware update

Believe in fully documenting your ideas for both current colleagues and yourown future self

Enjoy reading excellent documentation produced by others

We are very explicit about our values , and they can be seen in daily life at Oxide, for example:

Our rigor means we enjoy and take pride in the craft of engineering.

Our urgency means that we are not above the judicious short-cut.

Our versatility is reflected in our greatest strength: the breadth of our team.

Our transparency can be seen in our consensus-driven RFD process .

Our responsibility means that we both lead and follow: we have our own domains, but we also help others on their parts.

Our humor is a big part of our daily lives: we are inveterate wise-crackers whose video meetings spill into simultaneous text chat.
