VMware's Blockchain Strategy

Blockchain is an emerging technology that promises to change the world we live in. With VMware's vast experience in building highly trusted distributed systems and our background in doing advanced research in this space for several years, we are poised to change the industry's definition of blockchain and what it can do. We are building out a team of highly skilled individuals to help us build this business and change the industry. This is a unique opportunity to join an early business unit team within the Office of the CTO that is building a business from the incubation project that built the first service offering.

VMware's blockchain service is architected to be a multi-cloud, multi-blockchain hybrid SaaS solution. Our team works on cutting edge technology to deliver unique services for enterprise customers wanting to leverage this new technology but need the robustness and performance that they have grown accustomed to in the enterprise. In this role, you will work with a team of talented and focused leaders while leveraging VMware's Research Group, the open source blockchain efforts, key partners, and the broader VMware product and partner community.

About the Role

As VMware continues to advance VMware Blockchain and our Enterprise-grade blockchain service that is based on the Project Concord open source platform, we are expanding our team to meet the demand from our customers and partners worldwide. We are looking for a technical engineer based in Israel to support our EMEA region.

This Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) role brings a customer focused "passion mindset" to solving complex problems and technical issues through software improvements, documentation, scripting and technical education. This role is a healthy time mix between incident response, deployment support, ticket management, dashboarding, documentation, monitoring and source code programming/development work. This candidate will solve customer reported incidents, self-identify issues and improve the overall service through delivering innovative hands-on technical solutions. This role resides within the global Blockchain SRE team, works closely with the Blockchain core engineering and product management teams and reports to the Senior Manager of Blockchain Global Support Readiness.

Our Unique Blockchain Vision Centers Around:
  • Permission, private distributed ledgers, not Proof-of-Work

  • Built-in reconfiguration capability and membership, not just authX/authZ

Responsibilities:
  • Own and drive all customer reported incidents from initial response to troubleshooting to resolution including performance and stability issues

  • Participate in on-call rotation as required
  • Determine root-cause for all production level incidents and write corresponding high-quality RCA reports
  • Define service level objectives (SLOs) and service level indicators (SLIs) to represent and measure service quality and uptime
  • Develop dashboards through hands-on coding that manage and monitor the Blockchain production environment
  • Work with Command Center to monitor, troubleshoot and manage service uptime and health issues in the Blockchain management portal environment
  • Support upgrades, maintenance releases and patch deployments when needed
  • Help develop Blockchain product monitoring and alerting solutions that track critical service operations metrics and reported deviations
  • Virtually embed within the core engineering team to foster strong collaborations and partnerships. When needed, provide hands-on coding support to agile stories or epics facing rapidly approaching deliverable deadlines
  • Promote DevOps/SRE mindset

Minimum Qualifications:
  • 5+ years of experience working in a similar role supporting technical operations in a live-site production environment with a real passion for automation and tooling
  • 5+ years of experience in Unix/Linux systems programming with Python, Shell and/or Perl
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, a related field or equivalent practical experience
  • Strong experience in one or more of the following: distributed systems, peer to peer networks, security/cryptography, or databases
  • Demonstrated ability to resolve deep technical issues
  • Solid work experience on VMware virtualization platforms or others like Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, etc.
  • Strong software development and project management fundamentals
  • Intensely customer-focused
  • Exceptional bias for action - willing to move rapidly and decisively to resolve customer issues
  • Ability to work non-standard hours as the business requires
  • Experience working across geographic and functional teams (e.g. Engineering, Product Management, Operations, Customer Success, Global Support)
  • Experience with Atlassian JIRA Service Desk, PagerDuty and Slack
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills

Ways to stand out from the crowd:
  • Strong experience with C++ and Java
