Backend Software Engineer - Intersight platform

This is a hybrid position located in Miliptas, California.

We are currently looking for talent to join our Intersight development team as part of Cisco's Data Center Compute portfolio. Cisco Intersight is a cloud-based system management platform for Cisco UCS (Unified Computing System) and many other products which enables IT organizations to analyze, simplify and automate their environments. It is driven by analytics and machine learning to provide actionable intelligence for IT operations/management.

You will be part of the team extending and maintaining the core messaging, persistence and other shared back-end services powering the Intersight platform. We build the product infrastructure that the application teams build on. Your co-workers will be a group of dedicated Go/Java server-side developers and cloud/web technology architects. We are a close team who have decades of experience building infrastructure products and have earned a reputation within the company for on-time delivery of a quality product.

You will participate in the entire product life cycle, from requirement analysis to architecture & design, to code implementation, to functional and performance testing, and to training and support. You will also be encouraged to conduct research spikes to determine feasibility of new technologies or alternative designs and mentor more junior developers in good engineering practices. A successful candidate will bring proven technical and development experience, including cloud native technologies.

More than any other quality, we are looking for those driven by the challenge of solving unique and difficult technical problems, and those who are not afraid to dive into new territory (technical or otherwise), learn something new and bring the team along with them.
