The DC HWE Storage Tools Team is looking for a Software Engineer with passion for systems engineering and hardware telemetry. In this role, you will maintain and build data collection agents mainly in Python, Golang etc. to monitor reliability, environmental factors, power and performance for critical server hardware components. You will design robust telemetry pipelines-including SQL/NOSQL/time series databases, RESTful APIs, and web-based UIs-to surface insights through tools like Grafana and Tableau. The ideal candidate brings a strong mix of software engineering, observability knowledge, and DevOps experience, along with a deep understanding of large-scale data processing and monitoring frameworks.
Description
We are seeking a skilled and motivated Entry to Mid-Level Software Engineer to join our Data Center Hardware Engineering Tools team focused on building telemetry and monitoring solutions for server hardware. The ideal candidate will maintain and develop software agents to collect telemetry data from servers and surface insights via visual dashboards (Tableau, Grafana) and APIs. You will be responsible for building backend agents in Python or Golang to collect hardware health data, designing and maintaining databases, developing APIs and web-based UIs (preferably in Django), and integrating solutions into CI/CD pipelines using Docker, Kubernetes, and Jenkins. Experience working with large datasets and asynchronous worker patterns is essential.
