 * Familiarity with Elasticsearch / Kibana / Vega for telemetry and dashboarding.
 * Familiarity with MSSQL/Mysql/SQLite or other relational and NoSQL datastores.
 * Exposure to Static Timing Analysis or VLSI physical design.

## Description

* Designing and supporting mechanisms for coordinating and maintaining large-scale semiconductor design tasks across multiple global datacenters.
 * Owning, debugging, and improving production services spanning web browsers, containerized microservices, and bare-metal Linux hosts.
 * Building web interfaces to configure, launch, and analyze EDA tools and design flows.
 * Contributing to the modernization of legacy services - migrating and re-architecting backends, improving reliability and observability.
 * Mining and analyzing large datasets of job execution telemetry and tool quality-of-results data to improve flows and catch regressions.
 * Helping invent next-generation semiconductor design methodology.
 * Optionally, contributing directly to the physical design of GPU/SoC products - a rare opportunity for an infrastructure engineer.
