Job Description

Why might you be interested in this opportunity?

Ready to build? So are we. Come join VMware’s Knative OSS team. We’re focused on providing Kubernetes abstractions that speak to application developers. We build the foundational developer component of Modern Applications Business Unit (MAPBU)’s Tanzu portfolio to help customers build, run, and manage their most important applications.

Knative simplifies running serverless containers by taking care of “boring but difficult” details such as networking, autoscaling (even to zero) and revision tracking, allowing developers to focus on business needs. Additionally, Knative provides universal subscription, delivery and management of events, enabling developers to declaratively manage complex event-driven workloads.

We care deeply about

  • building the right thing: our team has a deep expertise in building components on Kubernetes and includes founding members of the Knative project 

  • open source software: our team holds several leadership positions in the Knative community

While focused on the upstream OSS community, we also collaborate with VMware product and infrastructure teams to bring the benefits of Knative to VMware and VMware’s customers.

You

We’re looking for someone who is passionate about helping application developers be more productive and open source software development.

You enjoy solving problems and have a natural curiosity about how new things work. You prefer defining, scoping and prioritizing work collaboratively and executing autonomously, reaching out for help when stuck. You are comfortable digging into other code bases that are foreign to you to connect the dots. The code you write to test at every level (unit, integration, e2e, etc) is just as important as the code you write for end users. Documentation is not an afterthought to your software development process, but is a fundamental aspect in all your work.

As a software engineer, you are passionate about producing high quality code and understand that maintaining code is just as important. You get excited working with distributed and scalable systems and enabling developers to deliver those systems more efficiently.

We believe the following skills/experience are required to be successful:

  • experience using Go

  • experience working with and debugging distributed systems

  • experience building products for other developers

The following are desired:

  • experience building distributed systems

  • knowledge of and building on Kubernetes

  • previous collaboration with open source communities

What is the structure and culture of the team like?

The Knative OSS currently has 10 members (engineers, product manager, designer and technical writers) and is still growing. The team is distributed spanning from the UK to Seattle, Washington and a few places in between. Given our distributed nature, we prefer candidates who are comfortable working fully remote and have strong communication skills as we tend to leverage asynchronous means of collaboration.

Culturally, the team is focused on user value, innovation, execution, growth and kindness. We believe sustainable pace and psychological safety foster creativity and a productive work environment. We strive to focus on what is right for the users and optimize for the overall project rather than a subcomponent.
