Job and Technology Overview

This opportunity is for a self-starting individual to join a professional software development team and participate in all areas of software development from definition, design, development, and validation.

The Messaging Engineering Team develops a full range of products which form the underpinnings for customers to handle some of the toughest data distribution problems around in terms of speed, lowest latency, highest performance, and breadth of scale.  In addition, TIBCO’s messaging technology is used within a wide range of TIBCO's products and technologies supporting their distributed capabilities.

TIBCO has been delivering high performance messaging products for over two decades to all major industries, including financial services, telecommunication, logistics, government, energy, and more. Our messaging products have been battle-tested in mission-critical environments and are used by over 10,000 customers worldwide, ranging from trading applications and infrastructures; to real-time control systems for manufacturing plants, supply chains, transportation / logistics networks, retail, and public sector telecommunication platforms. TIBCO's messaging technologies built and supported are fueled by a professional engineering organization creating innovative, highly reliable, available, and secure distributed messaging.

In addition to messaging, our team here is building one of the most advanced in-memory, distributed data grid products to bring memory-speed access to multiple terabytes of information in a very high performance, incredibly scalable, and robust way.

This is challenging work.  We're working on highly distributed and parallel systems from the top all the way down to the low-level protocol levels.  Our messaging products are built on a C and GoLang base with language bindings for most other major languages.  Work is going on across our product spectrum from low-level protocols to high-level dashboards to advanced monitoring capabilities through highly automated verification systems and  highly integrated Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment pipelines.

We have opportunities across our entire team including core product development, development of automated integration, building, validation and stress testing, cloud support (private, public, and hybrid), user interfaces, leveraging containerization technologies like Docker and Kubernetes, and Messaging as a Service deployments.  Our opportunities are, at their core, development roles so every position is oriented around development including full lifecycle from requirements, through design, development, to verification. We use a variety of languages and technologies including using and contributing to open source projects and technologies as appropriate. We’re working hard to do things quickly, efficiently, automatically, and to significant scale.
