Job Description

Ciena may well be the most important technology company you've never heard of. The innovations that wow us (driverless cars), and those we now take for granted (the ability to mobile-stream your favorite show) are the products of ingenuity from some brilliant and forward-thinking companies. But those companies rely on Ciena, another vanguard of innovation, to create and advance the underlying networks that bring their breakthroughs to our doorsteps. VR, AI, IOT, 5G … literally none of it would be possible without the mind-boggling technology that makes the internet itself work. For more than 25 years, Ciena has been the global leader in networking strategy, and our technology has been part of the critical infrastructure running within the most advanced companies in the world.

What will you do at Ciena?

We are looking for highly motivated and talented software engineers to join Blue Planet platform team, responsible for building performant, reliable, and maintainable platform services and tools in a large, polyglot, distributed environment.

Responsibilities

* Help to design, develop and manage our next generation software platform using Kubernetes.
* Work closely with design teams to support their use of the platform to deliver complete solutions to customers
* Participate in all phases of an agile development cycle - plan, design, implement, review, test, deploy, document, and training
* Troubleshoot and resolve customer issues

Areas of impact

Blue Planet is based on a modern software architecture that leverages open-source technologies, model-driven templates and container-based micro-services. Blue Planet facilitates the evolution toward more efficient, modernized network operations and software-defined programmability to accelerate the delivery of on-demand services, reduce costs, and enable a path to increased network autonomy. As a member of platform team, you will provide services, tools and manage system complexity to help Blue Planet solution teams to deliver value more easily and in a maintainable way.

Experience

* Bachelors/Masters Degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience
* Strong understanding of Computer Science fundamentals, algorithms and design patterns
* Good knowledge in Docker, container orchestration and microservices architecture
* Experience with setting up Kubernetes cluster and deploying applications
* Development experience in Python/GoLang
* Distributed, highly-available, horizontally scalable systems running at large scale
* Interest and ability to quickly learn and ramp-up on new languages and technologies

Rewarding experience. Meaningful outcomes.

Making a difference in people's lives through design and implementation of leading network technologies. That's what motivates us.

A distinct way to work

Free thinking, free discussion, and collaboration are the norm. Expect more satisfying outcomes - both personal and professional.

Ciena values the diversity of our workforce and respects its employees as individuals, regardless of race, nationality, religion, sexual orientation, gender or age.
