Scored from the posting itself — how clearly the role is described, how much it says about pay and benefits, and how recently it was listed. Not a judgement of Sumo Logic as an employer.

What you need

  • B.Tech, M.Tech, or equivalent degree in Computer Science or a related discipline
  • 8+ years of industry experience with a demonstrated track record of ownership
  • Strong CS fundamentals — comfortable with algorithmic complexity, data-structure performance characteristics, and system design at scale
  • Ability to author production-ready code in at least one OO/systems language (Java, Scala, Go, C++, or similar)
  • Experience with distributed systems and microservice architectures in production
  • Demonstrated track record of independently identifying ambiguous performance, scalability, or cost problems and driving engineering changes that produced measurable improvements in production

Nice to have

  • JVM tuning and GC optimization experience at scale
  • Exposure to cost-attribution/FinOps practices or tooling
  • Experience with Kubernetes, Terraform, or modern CI/CD tooling
  • Prior SRE experience — on-call, SLOs, incident response
  • Experience with streaming technologies (Kafka, Kafka Streams) or observability/security platforms.

Worth weighing

  • Role emphasizes coding and architecture improvements over traditional SRE tasks like managing cost dashboards.
  • No specific salary or benefits information provided.
  • The position requires a strong ability to influence without direct ownership, which may be challenging for some candidates.
