As a Software Engineer, you will be responsible for designing and developing algorithms for efficient resource management of distributed compute clusters on the vSphere platform. The ideal candidate will have strong knowledge of distributed systems, operating system resource utilization as well as management control planes. The candidate will have the ability to take vague problems and decompose them into detailed requirements. DRS technology is rapidly evolving for cloud native modern workloads on the Kubernetes on vSphere platform and it is becoming a core compute engine in support of modern AI Inferencing workloads. If you have a passion for building scalable and efficient systems, and are excited to work on a critical component of a modern application vSphere platform, we encourage, + Design and develop reliable mechanisms for multi constraint scheduling problems in a distributed system + Scale algorithms to support infrastructure level workload placement, resource scheduling, and balancing with low latency + Implement and optimize algorithms to support the three pillars of workload placement (storage, networking, and compute) and the emerging fourth pillar of hardware accelerators + Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate DRS with other VMware products and features, such as Kubernetes on vSphere, NSX, vSAN, and vCenter Server + Decompose medium scoped vague problems into detailed requirements, and develop solutions that meet the needs of our customers + Develop and maintain automated tests to ensure the quality and reliability of the features + Participate in code reviews and ensure that the code is aligned with coding standards and best practices + Troubleshoot and resolve complex issues related to workload placements, resource balancing ## Related Videos - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [WebAssembly: The Next Frontier of Cloud Computing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/972-webassembly-the-next-frontier-of-cloud-computing) - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [How I saved 200K/yr in direct costs writing 0 code lines in K8s](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1055-how-i-saved-200k-yr-in-direct-costs-writing-0-code-lines-in-k8s) - [Docker build without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100114-docker-build-without-docker) - [Generating code with Angular schematics](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/129-generating-code-with-angular-schematics) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Résumé-Driven Development: How IT trends affect the job market for software developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/59-resume-driven-development-how-it-trends-affect-the-job-market-for-software-developers) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [How Much Does a Software Engineer Make?
