About the Job:
Our mission is to build a next-generation private cloud infrastructure, combining KVM, Ceph, and SDN technologies to create a data center scale cloud that 'just works' and provides a mission-critical cloud for edge and core enterprise deployments. We are hiring a Golang software engineer to work on the low-level Go codebase sitting between our REST API and the low-level C libraries used to manage containers and virtual machines.

This is an opportunity for someone who wants to have a meaningful impact on modern cloud computing technologies.
