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 supports mission-critical cloud deployments for both edge and core enterprise environments.
We are hiring a Golang software engineer to work on the low-level Go codebase that interfaces between our REST API and the low-level C libraries managing containers and virtual machines. We seek system-level developers who are adept in design and data management/modeling. The LXD components integrate throughout the software stack, from low-level kernel features to upper management API/CLI levels. The most effective engineers are fluent across these layers and can foresee the impacts of their design and engineering decisions in a complex distributed system.
This is an opportunity for individuals wanting to significantly impact modern cloud computing technologies. We offer a fun, fast-paced team environment with a focus on learning and professional development.
What You Will Focus On:
- Design, implement, and document system-level Go code
- Model data, design database schemas, and store data in a dqlite (SQL) database
- Maintain code quality through static analysis, unit, and system tests
- Collaborate proactively with a distributed team
- Discuss ideas and collaborate on solutions
What We Are Looking For:
- Experience programming in Go and C
- Knowledgeable in networking and storage technologies
- Experience with two or more of the following: cloud computing, virtualization, containers, distributed systems, open source community
- Curiosity, flexibility, accountability, and strong soft skills
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent in Computer Science, STEM, or related field
Language Requirements: Fluency in English is expected.
What We Offer:
- Competitive compensation reflecting geographical location, experience, and performance
- Performance-driven annual bonus
- Personal learning and development budget of USD 2,000 per year
- Distributed work environment with twice-yearly team sprints in person
- Annual compensation review and recognition rewards
- Holiday leave, maternity and paternity leave
- Employee Assistance Programme
- Opportunities for travel to new locations to meet colleagues
