Golang Job: Software Developer

We are looking for a versatile developer to join a compact and distributed team to work on open-source and internal projects. Are you dreaming of joining one of the leading Silicon Valley software companies? This position is one of the rare work-from-home opportunities - you can become part of VMware even where there are no development offices nearby.

Are you interested in making software that is fueling today's clouds and do it in an open-source way? Here you can contribute to at least two open-source projects - a Terraform Provider for VMware Cloud Director and a Golang SDK for Cloud Director. Create tools that are used by developers, DevOps and cloud users who need automation and value Infrastructure-as-Code!

Do you like to see the full picture, integrate different products together and build your code from inception till delivery? You will work openly in GitHub, collaborate with customers who use our projects and with product managers from Palo Alto, manage environments with VMware stack from vSphere to Cloud Director, implement new cloud automation features and, of course, write regression tests to make sure that what you have crafted, stays there for good.

If the above resonates with you, we are waiting to hearing from you.

The following technical expertise is needed:

• A few years of Go programming or a proven experience with a different language and a big passion to learn. Note that our team values code readability and maintainability foremost - we know that it's hard to write code that is easy to read and value those who can do it.

• Deep understanding of software development lifecycle, including requirement analysis, testing and code reviews.

• Experience with Git and its main workflows like Pull Requests.

• Linux management, understanding how networks work and knowledge of at least one scripting language.

• You should know how RESTful APIs are built, called and extended, as we use them extensively.

General requirements:

• Excellent spoken and written English language skills.

• Self-motivation, dedicated mindset, willingness to work without a close supervision in a distributed team.

Responsibilities:

• Develop new features and fix bugs for the open-source Terraform VMware Cloud Director Provider and go-vcloud-director SDK projects.

• Try what you’ve built, write unit, functional and integration tests - we value engineers who include quality assurance in their daily development.

• Review code produced by your teammates or external contributors and provide suggestions which increase code quality, reduce errors and make the code more understandable.

• Try new changes done by colleagues, report bugs, suggest improvements.

• Maintain development environments in the cloud or, if you're one of those people who like tinkering with servers, bring up your own local lab.

• Analyze product requirements and compose software designs to implement them.

It will help if you:

• Have hands-on experience with VMware's vSphere and Cloud Director.

• Are used to containers and open-source virtualization solutions.

• Have some Java experience for overall versatility.

We are a diverse team of people working from different countries, hence you should enjoy and be capable of working with us remotely by means of emails, chats, VoIP and virtual meetings.
