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 are 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 still have some problems and solutions to validate. We are 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:

Building a multi-tenant metrics solution on top of leading-edge, open source projects like Prometheus, Kubernetes and Grafana. Prototyping, validating software with a growing customer base. 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 are searching for are talent and passion. However, experience in certain areas will help you hit the ground running, so here is our attempt at narrowing things down a bit. We are looking for experience in two or more of the following technologies: Golang, Docker, Kubernetes, Prometheus, Grafana, Javascript, D3

We will upvote if you also:

Know React, Github inside and out, Prometheus, Kubernetes knowledge and Agile methodologies

Ideal candidates will have experience in the following:

• You have used several monitoring/metrics tools in the past
• You have experience participating or contributing to the open source community
• You are passionate about using metrics in the engineering process
• You are comfortable at the Unix command line and have experience writing shell scripts.
