We're US-based and this position is ideally suited for someone in Europe due to the timezone we need. Support is mostly troubleshooting installs remotely, and development focuses on networking and low-level media elements. A note on support: we work hard to try and automate support, so the reason we ask devs to take on support issues is that it helps us focus on not having to do support for an issue once we've automated/fixed it. We also love having a direct connection to every customer, it makes the work more meaningful (though we find it really interesting in itself).

We were previously looking for someone in Mexico to help a local office there, we're US-based.

SwiftStack (http://swiftstack.com/jobs/) is hiring software developers at all levels of experience.

Why Join SwiftStack?

You’ll work on a product that touches millions of people’s lives even if they don’t know it. The number of businesses using OpenStack in general and Swift in particular grows and grows, and it includes big names that make products that are used by both your little brother and your grandmother. You’ll work on a product that makes core OpenStack technology accessible to businesses of all kinds.

You’ll get open-source experience in a big way. At SwiftStack, we’re committed to strong participation in the OpenStack ecosystem in general and to contribution to Swift in particular. You’ll be a contributor to one of the most important Open Source projects currently active.

You’ll confront interesting problems every day. Writing a system like Swift and building a software ecosystem to surround it is the road less traveled. We aren’t writing yet another glorified CMS or social app or phone game. Whether it’s figuring out better algorithms for data placement, confronting a firehose of monitoring data, or determining how to integrate most flexibly with customers’ systems, there are always new and unusual problems to solve.

Interested? Send us an email at jobs@swiftstack.com. Send us your github profile, your LinkedIn account, a link to your website – whatever will best display the work that you’ve done. Tell us in a few lines of text why you’re interested in SwiftStack, and why we’ll be interested in you. We’ll be back in touch shortly to get the conversation started.
