Use your deep C++ skills on Windows and MacOS to build an amazing open source developer experience with Multipass, the workstation mini-cloud at your fingertips which provides Ubuntu and appliance VMs on demand for build, test, and prototyping. The Multipass team is hiring a Software Engineer to join our distributed team. We greatly value quality in our code and a great user experience.
Multipass is available for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Think of it as a workstation mini-cloud. At its simplest, you can simply say multipass launch and you will get a new VM on your workstation. You can feed that VM data, just as you would on a public cloud like AWS, Azure, or GCP.
The goal is not to be a full cloud but to give developers a local cloud on their workstation, which they can use to run background builds, try cloud appliances, or test their own cloud deployments and cloud-init scripts, free of charge. People sometimes use it as a build farm on a shared server, for example.
As a Software Engineer, you are expected to play a leadership role in designing, mentoring, reviewing, and coding.
