ByteDance
Software Engineer- Compute Infrastructure (Cloud Native)
ByteDance, Seattle, Washington, us, 98127
Join us as we work together to inspire creativity and enrich life around the globe.
Location: Seattle
Team: Technology
Responsibilities
The Compute Infrastructure - Orchestration & Scheduling team uses Kubernetes and Serverless technologies to build a large, reliable, and efficient compute infrastructure. This infrastructure powers hundreds of large-scale clusters globally, with over millions of online containers and offline jobs daily, including AI and LLM workloads. The team is dedicated to building cutting-edge, industry-leading infrastructure that empowers AI innovation, ensuring high performance, scalability, and reliability to support the most demanding AI/LLM workloads. The team is also dedicated to open-sourcing key infrastructure technologies, including projects in the K8s portfolio such as kubewharf, Serverless initiatives like Ray on K8s, and LLM inference control plan project AiBrix. At ByteDance, as we expand and innovate, powering global platforms like TikTok and various AI/ML & LLM initiatives, we face the challenge of enhancing resource cost efficiency on a massive scale within our rapidly growing compute infrastructure. We're seeking talented software engineers excited to optimize our infrastructure for AI & LLM models. Your expertise can drive solutions to better utilize computing resources (including CPU, GPU, power, etc.), directly impacting the performance of all our AI services and helping us build the future of computing infrastructure. Design and evolve the architecture of large-scale Kubernetes-based infrastructure platforms to ensure performance, scalability, and resilience for diverse workloads, including microservices, big data, and AI/LLM applications. Improve K8s system performance across the control and data planes, including optimizing pod lifecycle, resource orchestration, and system-level throughput under high load. Build robust observability and performance analysis frameworks, define K8s system-level SLOs, and lead data-driven tuning and optimization initiatives in production. Develop intelligent, unified resource management and scheduling systems (at node & cluster-level) to support a wide range of compute resources in large-scale, cloud-native environments. Drive the standardization and optimization of container runtime environments to enhance workload isolation, reliability, and resource efficiency across heterogeneous compute environments. Qualifications
Minimum Qualifications: B.S./M.S, degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or a related area with 3+ years of relevant industry experience; new graduates with Ph.D. degree and strong publication records can be an exception. Solid understanding of at least one of the following fields: Unix/Linux environments, distributed and parallel systems, high-performance networking systems, developing large scale software systems Familiarity with container and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes. Proficiency in at least one major programming language such as Python, Go, C++, Rust, and Java. Preferred Qualifications: Knowledge of big data or machine learning workflows in a Kubernetes environment. Experience in developing or contributing to cloud-native open-source projects. Hands-on project experience with containerized applications through internships, coursework, or personal projects. Familiarity with observability tools and frameworks like Prometheus, Grafana, or distributed tracing systems. About Us
Founded in 2012, ByteDance's mission is to inspire creativity and enrich life. With a suite of more than a dozen products, including TikTok, Lemon8, CapCut and Pico as well as platforms specific to the China market, including Toutiao, Douyin, and Xigua, ByteDance has made it easier and more fun for people to connect with, consume, and create content. Diversity & Inclusion
ByteDance is committed to creating an inclusive space where employees are valued for their skills, experiences, and unique perspectives. Our platform connects people from across the globe and so does our workplace. At ByteDance, our mission is to inspire creativity and enrich life. To achieve that goal, we are committed to celebrating our diverse voices and to creating an environment that reflects the many communities we reach. We are passionate about this and hope you are too.
