Business Summary:

The VMware division of Broadcom is designing a visionary new Clustered Operations workflow for managing the ESXi hypervisor. This involves a complete re-design and rewrite of how ESXi clusters are managed at scale. There is an urgent need for a senior level engineer to lead the team through this significant transition in designing and implementing the new approach.

Job Role and Responsibility:

This role is a lead engineering role for the team that is radically redesigning the way the ESXi hypervisor is managed in terms of clustered operations. From a host centric way of doing things, we are moving to a cluster-focused approach that lends itself to scale out well for VCF and vSphere deployments. The ideal candidate for this role will have the technical chops to command the respect of a team of highly skilled developers, while at the same time, the communication capabilities to evangelize and co-opt all the other teams in the company (and their leads) that are impacted and need to integrate with our designs. This ideal candidate will have the technical depth and breadth to understand the various complex systems that our designs interact with, and will utilize this background to propose, lead and execute on innovative solutions for these complex problems.

The responsibilities for this role are the following:

Define innovative new solutions for our domain – managing clusters of ESXi hypervisors at scale.
Play a key role in technical discussions, architectural decisions and problem-solving exercises.
Represent the team in internal and external forums to evangelize and defend the product architecture, so that other teams see the benefits and sign up to do the integration.
Interact with engineering leadership from different teams to understand their needs and concerns, and work through issues that get raised in such interactions.
Hands-on contributions towards the design and implementation of key elements of the product.
Work with other functions within the Company (such as Product Management, Technical Marketing, Documentation etc.) to convert customer/market requirements into viable product solutions
Mentor the team’s other members on design/coding and help grow their technical careers

Required Skills:

Master’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent with 10+ years of experience, or Bachelor’s degree with 12+ years of experience.
Currently working in a senior technical leadership role (such as Staff or Senior Engineer)
Must have a broad technical background in client-server technologies, with good understanding of the full software stack and programming background at the systems level.
Programming experience with C++, Python, Java or similar languages
A good understanding of Networking and Storage fundamentals
Deep knowledge of distributed systems, relational databases, algorithms, data structures and object-oriented concepts
Experience with build systems such as Bazel
Understanding of continuous integration and release processes
Excellent oral and written communication skills, with the ability to seamlessly interact with technical as well as non-technical audiences
