Descripción del empleo

Overview

Use your deep C++ skills on Windows and macOS to build an amazing open source developer experience with Multipass, the workstation mini-cloud that provides Ubuntu and appliance VMs on demand for build, test and prototyping. Multipass is published for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Think of it as a workstation mini-cloud. At its simplest you can say multipass launch to 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. Instead it is a local cloud on the workstation that developers can use to run builds in the background, try cloud appliances, test cloud-init scripts, or test their own cloud deployments, 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 designing, mentoring, reviewing and, of course, coding.

Location: This is a remote position available in the EMEA region only.
