Pivotal Software Jobs in California (NOW HIRING)

Together We Can Build Something Meaningful

Pivotal is driven, creative, smart and fun-loving company. We offer a modern approach to technology that organizations need to thrive in a new era of business innovation.

We Can Go Fast Forever.

We pair program, all day, every day because we know it delivers remarkable results. We practice and teach an approach to software engineering that applies across industries and organizations, so you'll experience all types of teams, products, and technologies. And we believe in working at a sustainable pace - you'll typically code hard for 8 hours each day, but then you're off work to relax, recharge and refocus.

We Court Perfection.

Working at Pivotal means you get better at what you already do well. We set up regular retrospectives to figure out what we're doing wrong so we can fix it, and what we're doing right so we can improve on it. We consistently practice Test Driven Development, which results in high-quality, reliable and more maintainable code. And we believe that methodical, steady, relentless forward momentum drives consistent results.

Get Breakfast Everyday. And Get Paid to Master The Latest Technologies.

To make sure you start your day energized, we provide a catered breakfast every weekday morning, and unlimited snacks are available all day. Our collaborative, open-plan office space is filled with talented, like-minded Pivots who enjoy taking advantage of our weekly Tech Talks, playing ping pong, and hanging out with their co-workers on beer night.

The Cloud Foundry engineering team is looking for a few great Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) to join us in running a platform that transforms how the world deploys and scales software.

You

You have a passion for large distributed systems, next generation provisioning and orchestration tools, and wringing everything you can get out of an IaaS. You are a pathological automator. You might never have held the title SRE; you might have been a senior admin, a release engineer, or just the person who knows how to run everything. You are systematic in making changes; you don't just patch and poke.

Above all, you love running large-scale systems and you know you can't do it alone. You'd rather work on an integrated team with SREs, release engineers, and programmers than alone in a cubicle. You judge your success by the success of your team and the happiness of your customers.

Us

Cloud Foundry is an open source project co-developed with Pivotal Labs, a leader in the field of agile software development. We are opinionated about how software should be built. We pair program, all-day every-day, because we know it delivers remarkable results. We test drive code, automate all our regression tests, and continuously integrate. We work in small teams, and rotate between them frequently. We are committed to building systems that work without heroics.

We recognize that agile is not just for software development. Our cloud operations group is discovering new ways to operate systems using agile principles and practices such as pairing and test-driven development.

We work at a sustainable pace. Our days are intense, but we also make sure people have time off to relax, recharge, and refocus.

Where

Cloud Foundry engineering is located in San Francisco, in our SOMA office near 4th and Howard St. To make sure you start your day energized, we provide a catered breakfast every weekday morning, and unlimited snacks/drinks are of course available all day. Our collaborative, open-plan office space is filled with talented, like-minded engineers who enjoy taking advantage of our weekly Tech Talks, playing ping pong, and hanging out with their co-workers.
