About the role
IBM Software is hiring a Senior Engineer to design, implement, and operate high‑performance backend services on WarpStream. You will work across the stack from storage engines to the developer console, optimizing scalability and resilience for multi‑region deployments. The role requires deep distributed systems knowledge, strong coding skills in Java/Go/C/C++/Python, and a passion for delivering reliable systems with a customer‑centric mindset.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
