Software Engineer-Gemfire (Beaverton)

Pivotal is enabling the creation of modern software applications that leverage big & fast data – on a single, cloud independent platform

Pivotal is looking for a few great engineers to join our GemFire/Apache Geode engineering team. Apache Geode (currently in incubation) is a distributed, in-memory, and transactional datastore designed to provide very high throughput with predictable latency. GemFire is built on Apache Geode and is deployed throughout the world by demanding customers serving mission-critical applications in financial, telecommunications, retail, and transportation industries.

• You have a passion for large distributed systems to manage data on a massive scale.
• You love building highly concurrent systems that are also fault tolerant and extremely reliable.
• You follow current trends in topics such as stream processing and in-memory computing.
• You’d really like to believe there’s a way to defy the CAP theorem and get consistency, availability, and partition tolerance all in the same system (even if no one else has managed to do that yet).
• Above all, you love shipping software as a member of a collaborative team.

• BS or MS in Computer Science or equivalent, with coursework or experience in distributed systems.
• Keen understanding of state-of-the-art techniques and trends in data management, high-scale network applications, and distributed algorithms.
• Strong Java or C++, particularly in concurrent programming techniques.
• Track record of contributing to open source projects and engaging in developer communities.
• Experience with API development strongly desired.
• Ability to master new technology and application domains (e.g. financial, scientific, and industrial).
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
