Job Title: Software Engineer V Duration: 06 months Location: Remote (West Coast preferred) Interviews set up: 1 round (45 mins) Coding in HACK will be evaluated Summary:
Our team is building state-of-the-art compute/storage/AI infrastructure. We are looking for a software engineer, working on developing applications representative of the actual web workloads we want to quantify in terms of CPU, memory and other such performance benchmarks.
One of the typical workloads we need to benchmark is a Web based application that represents the actual workload observed in our data center servers running PHP code, this is typically written in Hack (an open-source language based on PHP, developed at Facebook). Hack relies on HHVM, which is an open-source virtual machine designed for executing programs written in Hack. HHVM uses a just-in-time (JIT) compilation approach to achieve superior performance while maintaining development flexibility. HHVM should be used together with a webserver like the built in, easy to deploy Proxygen, or a FastCGI-based webserver on top of nginx or Apache.
