Why we exist
Geothermal energy is the most abundant renewable energy source in the world. There is 2300 times more energy in geothermal heat in the ground than in oil gas coal and methane combined. However historically its been hard to find and expensive to develop. At Zanskar were using better technology to find and develop new geothermal resources in order to make geothermal a cheap and vital contributor to a carbon-free electrical grid. We are revolutionizing the exploration process setting new industry standards for discovery rates and finding new prospects at an unprecedented scale. To reduce risk and improve outcomes we rely on novel software and machine learning modeling.
Who you are
The Senior Distributed Systems Engineer will play a critical role developing and maintaining Zanskars next-generation multi-physics well-targeting engine. A successful candidate will:
Lead - you will be a trusted leader who can both design and deliver a reliable distributed compute system that meets the ongoing needs of our scientific research teams.
Learn - you will be entering a team with an existing system in place that needs to grow and scale. You will learn the domain from your peers as you identify how to migrate the system for scale and reliability.
Collaborate - you wont just be working with people like yourself. Youll be working with some of the most brilliant geophysicists geoscientists seismologists and engineers tackling the challenges of geothermal discovery. Collaborating with your peers to solve hard problems is the name of the game.
Teach - you will bring critical skills and experience that should be taught to others. You will have the opportunity (and education) to help others better understand your craft as a distributed systems engineer while you learn from them their craft in modeling the earths subsurface.
What were looking for
- Minimum 7 years experience in software engineering in a business environment ideally with a heavy scientific component.
- Experience leading the design and implementation of distributed computing systems.
- Experience with the development of fault-tolerant resilient event-driven architectures and building and managing orchestration systems to coordinate workloads with appropriate cloud resources (serverless Kubernetes and/or custom VM fleets).
- Experience defining and developing persistent data storage for digital artifacts both with RDBMS and cloud blob storage at scale.
- Experience ensuring system observability through logging monitoring alerting and metrics.
- Familiarity with software engineering best practices: CI/CD (GitHub Actions or similar) version control (GitHub) containerization (Docker) and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform).
- Fluency in cloud engineering (we primarily use GCP in particular Compute Engine Cloud Storage Cloud Run Cloud SQL and Pub/Sub).
- Fluency in Python and SQL are required.
- Experience with any of the following is a plus: experiment tracking optimization methods applied algorithm development reinforcement learning and other AI/ML techniques web development and familiarity with geoscience concepts and applications.
