Do you want to help eliminate barriers between ideas and business outcomes? We want you to bring your unique experiences and creative ideas to the table. CA Technologies provides software and solutions that help our customers to develop, manage, and secure complex IT environments to increase productivity and enhance competitiveness in their businesses. It’s our aim to encourage global collaboration and results-oriented innovation, while supporting and developing our talented people and our communities. CA Technologies will empower you to drive authentic success, for both the business and yourself in the application economy.

FreshTracks.io, a new startup within the CA Accelerator, is seeking a motivated engineer with a passion for using data to gain insights into real world systems performance and behavior. This role will be part of a highly collaborative team that is foundational to the technical decisions and architectures for the company. We think radically transforming the way software is built, delivered and monitored is pretty exciting stuff, and we’re looking for developers who want to join the fun.

We are focused on collecting millions of metrics per second from infrastructure, ephemeral containers and applications. FreshTracks correlates metrics and anomalies between them to provide seamless observability for Operations Engineers and Developers throughout the software lifecycle.  We are making monitoring a first-class citizen throughout the DevOps lifecycle. 

The CA Accelerator is following the Lean Startup process.  We’ve still got some problems and solutions to validate.  We’re going to need your help to prototype, experiment and validate.  If we are doing it right there are still several paths forward.

What you will be doing:

• Deploying new technologies to production environments in EC2, Kubernetes and OpenShift
• Initially prototyping, validating and proving a valuable solution
• Later, developing interfaces for developers to access and understand system data quickly and effectively
• Analyzing system performance to uncover important use cases, overall product dynamics, product usage, and potential improvements

Qualifications:

At the end of the day, the main things we’re searching for are talent and passion. However, experience in certain areas could help you hit the ground running, so here’s our attempt at narrowing things down a bit:

Go, SQL, Docker, Kubernetes, Prometheus, Javascript, D3, Python

We’ll upvote if you also:

Know React (or similar JS frameworks), Git (or other distributed SCM). Prometheus, InfluxDB or some other modern, tagged metrics tool. Kubernetes, Mesos or Docker Swarm. Agile methodologies and have experience with a streaming data system like Storm or Kafka Streams.

About You:

• You have talent and enthusiasm for creating usable, scalable, well-tested software
• You want to work in a highly collaborative, pair programming, agile-all-the-time environment
• You love learning new technologies, languages, tools, and frameworks

More specifically, you can answer ‘true’ to many of the following statements:

• You have built and used RESTful APIs
• You have coded and deployed scalable services
• You have strong knowledge and experience working with JVMs
• You write automated tests at all levels of the testing pyramid
