Infrastructure Software Developer

When it comes to processing seismic data at petascale with our proprietary imaging software and our world-class data center, infrastructure is an integral part of delivery. Our users’ job is to accurately image the subsurface to improve our knowledge of the earth and mitigate drilling risk. You are the one who controls how quickly and efficiently they do this. Our infrastructure team is responsible for implementing the framework that delivers our various software services. You will be responsible for designing and developing a system that allows our multi-petabytes of data to be accessed and stored quickly and easily. Doing this requires great knowledge of data structure and I/O. The team also develops and maintains the libraries – shared components and technologies – that are used by our high-end imaging code and visualization applications.

Your work has wide-sweeping implications for global subsurface imaging at CGG, so your work needs to be impeccable. You will ensure the efficiency, simplicity, reliability, and scalability of our core software infrastructure, which means you need lots of ability. We expect a lot, but the rewards are plenty.
