What we're looking for:

You're an enthusiastic Software Engineer with the drive and passion to develop your functional programming and systems engineering experience in an enterprise setting. We'd like you to join a team of some of our most talented engineers working on XenServer.

About XenServer: 

XenServer is a commercial virtualization platform based on the open-source Xen hypervisor. XenServer powers everything from government organizations, multi-thousand seat virtual desktop deployments, super-fast network load balancers, all the way up to some of the largest public and private clouds in the world.  

What you'll be doing:

We'll develop your skills and knowledge base as you join fellow engineers building and developing the toolstack (control plane) for the XenServer virtualization stack.  This is the part of the code that manages storage, networking and virtual machines across clusters of physical hosts, and provides the public XenServer API.

As the control plane sits in the middle of the software stack, you'll get to partner closely with other teams that manage storage, Windows virtual machines, lower-level components such as the Linux kernel, and the user interface. We'll encourage you to progress and you'll quickly have the opportunity to act as Feature Lead for the development of multi-person, cross-team features.

The control plane is largely written in a functional language, OCaml. We actively contribute to several open source projects (including Xen, Linux Kernel, and Xapi), and follow an agile development methodology.

You'll be given lots of encouragement to participate in the evolution of an open source program that is backed by a major software company. Our developers interact with customers, partners, other Cloud Software Group teams, and with the open source community.

Responsibilities:

• Software development, including design, estimation, testing and coding.

• Leading the design and build of cross-team features, and participating in other cross-team initiatives.

• Day-to-day issue triage and code maintenance.

• Working as part of a self-organizing team, working within an agile framework.

• Input into future product requirements for XenServer.

We'd like you to have:

• Working knowledge of Unix/Linux internals.

• Understanding and some practical experience of different types of programming languages, including procedural languages (e.g., C# or Java); scripting languages (e.g., Python); and functional languages (e.g., OCaml, ML, F#, Scala or Haskell).

• A passion for excellence in terms of performance, reliability and usability, as well as functional correctness.

Desirable:

• Bachelor's or higher degree, preferably in software engineering or computer science or equivalent experience.

• Server virtualization in general, and Xen or XenServer in particular.

• Scrum or other agile development practices.
