Quantcast operates some of the largest custom-developed data processing infrastructure in the world, storing and processing tens of petabytes of data daily. This includes a fault tolerant space efficient distributed file system (QFS), along with a custom map/reduce implementation that is four times faster than the commonly used industry alternative.

As the members of the Common Tools and Services Team, we work with engineering teams in improving Application infrastructure and build systems to accelerate their velocity and optimize the distributed engineer costs.

We are currently working towards transitioning the company from Cloud Service toward containerization. We have identified gaps for which services/scaffolding would need to be built. We fondly call it the Application Platforms. We are looking for an outstanding engineer who has an understanding of Kubernetes and Service meshes to own the roadmap of this new platform.
