VMware is looking for a Staff Software Engineer to join VMware's NSX team. NSX is a key component of VMware's software defined datacenter (SDDC) and allows our customers to build, host and deploy applications in their cloud.

You will lead the next generation of networking applications using your expertise in distributed systems, software technologies and open source tools to solve difficult customer use cases and delight them in the process. You will be part of a bright engineering team that has open communication, innovation, empowerment and a customer success culture. You will collaborate with cross functional teams on innovative projects, with the authority and scope to apply your expertise in a fast-paced and technically driven environment.

We are interested in engineers who love building robust and scalable systems, We're looking for ideas and skills from every area of computer science, including distributed systems, large-scale system design, networking and security. We hire engineers who can tackle hard problems in new areas and help define new markets.

Responsibilities

Write code in Java (and scripting in Python) to manage and enable robust, scalable, high-volume applications. Lead and contribute significantly to engineering projects spanning multiple groups and team members. Ensure standards and procedures are being adhered to. Mentor engineers into the core development processes. Perform other duties and responsibilities as requested or required.

VMware NSX is a network virtualization platform that delivers the operational model of a virtual machine for the network. Virtual networks reproduce the network model in software, allowing complex multi-tier network topologies to be created and provisioned programmatically in seconds. NSX includes a library of logical networking services - logical switches, logical routers, logical firewalls, logical load balancers, logical VPN, QoS, and distributed security.

A self-service interface allows users to create custom combinations of these services in isolated software-based virtual networks that support existing applications without modification or deliver unique requirements for new application workloads. Similar to virtual machines in compute, virtual networks are programmatically provisioned and managed independent of networking hardware. Decoupling from hardware introduces agility, speed and operational efficiency that has transformed data center economics.

BS in Computer Science/related technical field or equivalent practical experience. 5+ years of general software programming experience in Java or C++, Python with some knowledge of TCP/IP and network programming. Knowledge of Linux (Preferred) and development of large scale applications - web infrastructure, distributed systems, database replication, high availability etc. Ability to technically lead engineering teams to deliver projects. (Preferred) MS/PhD in Computer Science (Preferred) Solid foundation in data structures, algorithms and software design with strong analytical and debugging skills. (Preferred) Good understanding of distributed systems, virtualization, networking and security constructs and open source software. (Preferred) Technical paper publications and conference engagements.
