Job Description

Why would you enjoy this new opportunity?

The VMware Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) platform allows companies to make it easy for employees to work anywhere, any time, on any device, without compromising security. But making things easy for our customers is extremely challenging for us, so we are looking for unique thinkers of varying backgrounds that want to take on such complex, highly technical, customer-impacting challenges. We, the UEM team, have a large customer base that spans across industry verticals including most of the Fortune 500 companies. That means that the work you do here has a broad, measurable impact on the businesses and communities that these customers represent.

We also want to help you have a positive impact on the community and the environment, whether through the Power of Differences (PODs) groups, various environmental improvement initiatives, matching donations to qualified non-profits or time off for volunteering. And we want to have fun along the way, both while you are making a difference for our customers and for your community. We use a wide range of technologies such as .NET Core/C#, Kubernetes, AWS/Azure, Linux/Windows, MSSQL Server, Postgres, Elasticsearch and Redis, just to name a few. And we have a large catalog of internal and external training content that you can leverage, if you need to brush-up on something you know or to learn something new. Did we mention that you get to choose a top-of-the-line Windows or MacBook laptop?

What is the primary need, technical challenge, or problem you will be responsible for?

The Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) product known as Workspace ONE continues to be industry leading in terms of customer adoption, capabilities, and innovation. As a result of that success and of our customer's expectations, we are currently working to modernize the Workspace ONE platform to allow it to scale for the next set of new business opportunities and leading-edge use cases. This modernization effort involves updating process, adding new tooling, adding support for mixed infrastructure (public cloud, on-premises, hybrid, containers), and improving the observability of the system.

Adding to the challenge, we are doing this while 'keeping the lights-on' for customers using the current platform version in their production environments. We are looking for a senior software engineer who can thrive in such an environment and help us execute this vision. You should have experience shipping production applications, the ability to identify the right tools and technologies for the problem being addressed and understand the implications of technology choices on day-two operational challenges. We have high engineering standards, and we want you to help make us better.

Success in the Role: What are the performance goals over the first 6-12 months you will work toward completing?

Success in the role is defined by the ability to consistently create high quality code that addresses the business requirement, and is well tested, performant, and maintainable.

* You will develop a solid understanding of the platform and functionality it supports in the context of the larger platform. This would be demonstrated by your ability to deliver features and fix bugs, proficiency handling production escalations and being the established service owner for one or two key services.

* You can drive effective design and code reviews; a primary part of this role is mentoring junior engineers

* You are leading engineering design and development efforts including providing guidance to several engineers building services, ensuring that the solution can be scaled horizontally and deployed on the UEM control plane using shared components for messaging, caching, logging, and monitoring

What type of work will you be doing? What assignments, requirements, or skills will you be performing on a regular basis?

Most of your time will be spent writing high-quality code based on engineering team coding standards that include excellent test coverage using C# or Java. You can expect to be the owner and take accountability for the quality of your code. You will need to become familiar with the market we operate in and problems the product addresses. Understand the challenges and limitations of the existing system. Demonstrate the ability to contribute to engineering roadmap and design discussions considering both these.
