Team Tanzu is looking for a Software Engineer to build and deliver solutions that will allow customers to easily build, run and manage their modern workloads across any cloud. We would love to talk to you regarding this role if you are passionate about multi-cloud application modernization and interested in being part of a team that is obsessed about delighting customers and driving engineering innovation and sustainability.
Product
Tanzu Application Service (or TAS) is a cloud platform based on the open source Cloud Foundry project that enables application developers to build and run their applications efficiently. It manages containerization, traffic routing, logging, metrics, and build workflows, so that engineers can focus on what matters most to them -- solving problems for their customers. TAS is a successful product that is loved by customers and brings in $500 million in annual revenue.
Team
Our team is responsible for enhancing and supporting TAS to enable customers realize greater value from it. We collaborate in the open source Cloud Foundry community and enable contributors there.
Our team's philosophy has roots in Extreme Programming methodology’s values and agile concepts like feedback, communication, empathy, and shared understanding. We have a whole host of practices around test-driven development, pair programming, team retrospectives, technical retrospectives, and continuous integration that support those. We wouldn't be truly agile without focusing on continuous improvement, so we also re-evaluate our processes on a regular basis, and encourage process experimentation.
We value customer obsession, metrics-driven approach, and working at a sustainable pace. We’re a collaborative bunch; from pair programming to 1-on-1 time with your manager, there is always a teammate there to lend a helping hand. Mentorship from senior talent is built right into our process.
The team is distributed across our offices in San Francisco, Santa Monica, Seattle, Austin, Denver, New York, London, and home offices in the US, Europe and Colombia. We’re flexible on locations and schedules, but given our collaborative approach to working, we prefer candidates whose schedule overlaps considerably with those of their teammates.
Role
We’re looking for a Software Engineer to participate in the exploration of product improvements, experimenting with ideas to address customer requests and hotspot issues, and working with the team to deliver on customer and business outcomes.
Success in the role
The performance goals you will work toward completing during your first 6-9 months are:
Develop good understanding on the customer usage of TAS and collaborate with the team to ship new features and bug fixes
Partner with the product managers and engineers in the exploration of design and implementation options to address customer needs
Work with the team to improve the engineering processes in the team
Leadership for this role
This role will report to an Engineering Manager in the Tanzu Application Services team. Our leadership consistently embodies VMware’s EPIC2 values of Execution, Passion, Integrity, Customers and Community. Our leadership team brings a wealth of experience from different backgrounds in the industry. We are committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. We are a learning organization and believe that diverse teams are stronger and more effective at solving the complex problems we make simple for our customers. Empathy, diverse points of view, approaches, and skill sets bring us to the best solution faster, together.
