A day in the life
The MLA Systems Software team was formed to focus on server software primarily for debug, testing, qualification, and manufacturing. At a high-level our goal is to find ways to help the organization scale though the use of software and automation.
The team is focused on our organization's ability to scale. Automation, software best practices, and good architectural abstractions are key to this endeavor.
You will have the opportunity to develop software in a highly cross-functional environment, working side by side with software and hardware teams to optimize customer experience. You will be responsible for building scalable software systems that can be tested throughout the stages of product development including manufacturing and production. You will leverage automation, continuous integration, and fleet metrics to deploy and monitor your changes.
