Huawei | Algorithm researcher, Huawei Cloud | Full Time | ONSITE (Moscow, Russia)

Here in Huawei Moscow Research Center we work on optimization problems that arise in all projects of our company. Our particular team is responsible for core Huawei Cloud (https://www.huaweicloud.com/intl/en-us/product/ecs.html) algorithms, such as optimal placement and migration of virtual machines over physical hosts, batch job scheduling, network flow/congestion control, load forecasting and so on. We have never-ending stream of NP-hard problems and use a variety of methods to deal with them: network/graph algorithms, LP solvers, evolutionary algorithms, and, of course, a lot of heuristics. We are researchers: we do not have bugtacker, scrum or devops.

Perfect candidate would be a veteran software engineer who feels overqualified to be a part of modern coding pipeline and instead would like to shift to more demanding disciplines, namely algorithms and applied math.

Minimal requirements are the following:

  * good knowledge of classical Cormen-style computer science
  * ability to solve math test in relaxed pace (it is not very hard, but still of university level)
  * diploma of one of the top local universities
  * motivation to work as a researcher (this is important!)

We also expect candidates to have one of the following:

  * proficiency in C++
  * experience with math. optimization methods
  * experience in building distributed systems
  * PhD diploma and/or publications

If you are interested, please contact me at gudkov.andrei@huawei.com. First step of hiring process is informal talk over the phone with me and other team members.

We can provide relocation from other areas of Russia and from majority of CIS countries.

How exactly encrypted DNS will reduce spying? ISPs will still be able to observe IP addresses users connect to and even particular host names in SSL handshakes.

I reviewed 1600 edits at StackOverflow. And I can say that some of the automatically generated questions are more intelligible than the average SO question. For example, this one looks fine to me: https://stackroboflow.com/#!/question/11235

Maybe it is because major email services already do good enough job of filtering spam/phishing emails?

And yes, we already have DKIM.

Interaction between humans and AI is far from perfect. It seems that it would be easier for the people to adapt to AI rather than the opposite. I feel that someday every traffic participant (including pedestrians) will be required to carry tracking device. These devices will communicate together and prohibit or allow actions, e.g. making a turn or crossing a road. Eventually they will make traffic rules as we know today, obsolete. No traffic lights, no road signs and no crossings anymore. Every action will controlled by the device. And, of course, they will automatically report and fine law-breakers.

Is this the bright future of the humankind? Or is this a setting for a new dystopian book?

How much time would it take to synthesize 500K-lut design on a high-end workstation?

Does Elastic have a tradition of replying to applications by any chance?

Location: Moscow, Russia

Remote: yes

Willing to relocate: after at least 6 months of working together

Technologies: full-text search engines, DBMS internals, bigdata (C/C++/Linux, Java/Hadoop)

I have 10+ years of experience and a lot of completed projects. Interested in hardcore in-house development and research (no "how to combine 32 third-party libraries together", please).
