Software Engineer - Windows Collections

The Data Collection team owns the ingestion pipeline - starting with a lightweight agent to collect, compress, encrypt and ship the data back to the Sumo Logic cloud.

Windows-based systems represent a large majority share of the enterprise IT infrastructure, including servers, personal computers and cloud services. These systems can generate petabytes of platform-specific log data, including Event Logs and Event Trace Logs, which must be ingested in near-real time and with a minimal resource footprint.  

As a Windows Collection Engineer, you will architect and implement the collection systems to ingest this data locally (from the machine generating the events), remotely (from a different machine within our customers’ infrastructure), and from the cloud (Azure).

You are a strong software engineer who is passionate about large-scale systems. You care about producing clean, elegant, maintainable, robust, well-tested code; you do this as a member of a team, helping the group come up with a better solution than you would as individuals. Ideally, you have experience with performance, scalability, and reliability issues of 24x7 commercial services.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement extremely high-volume, fault-tolerant, scalable backend systems that process and manage petabytes of customer data.


• Design and develop a Windows-based collection system that will ingest and process terabytes of Windows Events using native Windows APIs and that can operate under a wide range of customer configurations.


• Design and develop troubleshooting tools to help customers identify and resolve configuration issues while collecting log data.


• Write robust code; demonstrate its robustness through automated tests.


• Work as a member of a team, helping the team respond quickly and effectively to business needs.   

Requirements:

• 2+ years of industry experience with a proven track record of ownership and delivery.


• Understanding of Windows Operating System internals.


• Object-oriented experience, for example in C++ or C#.


• Experience with Win32 API, Windows servers & remote machine access


• Understand performance characteristics of commonly used data structures (maps, lists, trees, etc).

Desirable:

• Experience in JNI, Powershell


• Experience in multi-threaded programming and distributed systems is highly desirable.


• Experience in big data and/or 24x7 commercial service is highly desirable.


• Agile software development experience (test-driven development, iterative and incremental development) is a plus
