Description:

The Tanzu division in Broadcom is seeking a Staff Software Engineer to join the Bosh Ecosystem team. The Tanzu division enables many of the world’s largest organizations and government agencies to develop, operate and optimize their business critical applications.

Our team's primary product is a cross-IAAS virtual machine orchestration tool. This system deploys, runs, scales, and upgrades hundreds of thousands of virtual machines for our customers on their hardware of choice. We also release Windows and Linux operating system images to enhance security and own an opinionated UI. Our engineers tackle a diverse range of tasks, from debugging Linux related CI issues and adding new vSphere networking support to resolving customer support tickets.

Our team's philosophy is rooted in XP values and Agile concepts such as feedback, communication, empathy, and shared understanding. We support these principles through practices like test-driven development, pair programming, team retrospectives and continuous integration. Collaboration is central to our process, whether through pairing, extensive written communication or 1-on-1 sessions with managers; a teammate is always available to assist. Most of our production components are written in Go or Ruby, although we also make frequent use of bash and Powershell scripts to solve automation problems when warranted. Experience with these technologies is beneficial but not required – a characteristic common to the engineers on our team is the ability to become quickly productive in an unfamiliar problem space.

Key Responsibilities:

We are looking to add a staff engineer who is eager to experiment, solve problems, troubleshoot complex distributed systems, and invest in stability and scale. Approximately half of our time is dedicated to building new features, while the other half focuses on maintaining and releasing our product suite. In this role, you will:

• Implement features in Ruby and Golang collaboratively
• Rotate on call and resolve customer escalations
• Help maintain software spread across 50 Git repositories with CI integrations across 5 IAASes
• Release around a dozen products each month.
• Be the Technical leader on month long feature tracks

Requirements:

• A preference for collaborative work, including pair programming
• Excellent communication both written and in person.
• The ability to delve into diverse codebases and contribute while learning.
• Demonstrable ability to tackle large problems and break them down into discrete components.
• Operations or Systems Administration expertise, particularly with Linux or Windows.
• Must have legal authorization to work in the US. This position is not eligible for visa sponsorship
• Full time in office presence in Bellevue or Palo Alto

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with large Go or Ruby codebases.
• Practiced Test-Driven Development (TDD).
• Experience in a pair programming environment.
• On-call experience with production-grade systems.

Education/Experience
