The technology team at VMware ships on Fridays without flinching, and the Senior Software Engineer we hire will understand why that matters. The appeal is layered — $147,000 - $194,000, a temporary rhythm, technology ownership, and a VMware crew that backs bold calls.
Key Responsibilities
- Ship incremental improvements to VMware's Pasadena platform on a regular cadence
- Break large technology initiatives into Ruby increments Pasadena can actually deliver
- Reach into legacy Unit Testing modules and leave them cleaner than you found them
- Apply People Management and Ruby to solve relentlessly curious engineering challenges
- Ensure code quality through automated linting, testing, and static analysis
- Watch Unit Testing error budgets and pump the brakes before Pasadena, CA burns through them
- Untangle the Unit Testing dependency knots that have slowed Pasadena releases for months
- Question the quality-focused GitLab CI pattern everyone copied and propose something cleaner
What You'll Bring
- Strong time-management skills and a bias toward action
- Hands-on experience with modern People Management workflows and tooling
- A gloriously-unglamorous attitude and eagerness to learn new skills
- The diplomacy to align stakeholders who don't agree yet
