What it’s all about

We are building a breakthrough weather engine, combining some heavy science with cutting-edge software implementation. You will manage system operations and the infrastructure aspect of our platform as well as databases and data storage, deploying ClimaCell algorithms to the cloud and making sure everything is secure, scalable, and highly efficient.

What it takes

  - Collaboration with the Engineering Team to understand technical requirements and ensure optimal alignment with application and cloud architecture
  - Experience working in an early stage, scaling startup and prior experience with SaaS and PaaS models
  - Being a problem solver with the urge to help businesses work better
  - Strong knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS, GCP)
  - Understanding of large-scale data processing platforms (Apache Spark, Hadoop)
  - Fearless Linux and shell expert
  - Experience with automating deployment, continuous delivery, continuous integration (Jenkins, Ansible), virtualization and containers (Docker, Kubernetes, Vagrant)
  - Knowledge of Node.Js, Python, Mongo
  - Understanding that mission-critical systems need to operate 24×7, being ready to prevent instabilities whenever they may happen, with the help of your colleagues, and a double espresso.

Pivotal's goal is to transform the way the world builds software. We mean it.

We value aptitude over alma mater, empathy over a list of APIs. It doesn't matter whether your resumé says PHP or PhD: if you're smart, empathetic and know some stuff, we want to work with you.

We have many offices worldwide including SF, NYC, Toronto, London, Palo Alto (pivotal.io/locations) and more coming. We're broken into three main divisions: Pivotal Labs (that Pivotal Labs), Cloud R&D and Big Data.

-- Pivotal Labs helps clients to become better at product development. For engineering we are religiously lean and agile. We pair program and TDD every line of code from the outside. Our product managers are fantastic at keeping products sharply focused, our designers are masters from users to pixels.

-- Cloud R&D is where we build the best cloud platforms available: PCF and PKS. We're the majority contributors to the Cloud Foundry project and we're a platinum CNCF member. There is a lot happening right now and there are greenfield platform opportunities. We dogfood the cutting edge of our technology on our own commercial cloud (Pivotal Web Services).

Cloud R&D is also responsible for Pivotal Tracker and Spring.

-- Big Data is our suite of battled-hardened products, now open sourced. Greenplum tackles massive datasets with the comfort of PostgreSQL. Apache HAWQ (incubating) brings Greenplum's distributed query planner to Hadoop. Gemfire, donated as Apache Geode, is an in-memory distributed grid with years of high performance in high-stakes systems.

-- Generally

At our offices we have free breakfast, weekly tech talks, excellent benefits and competitive pay. Ping pong isn't mandatory, but it's popular. I think west-coast ping pong is harder to beat, but east-coast style is more entertaining to watch. The NYC beer fridge has more IPAs than I prefer but I guess that's life in paradise.
