We are looking for candidates local to San Jose as this is a hybrid role requiring at least 3 days/week in the office.

Meet the Team

We are currently looking for talent to join our Intersight development team as part of Cisco's Data Center Compute portfolio.

Cisco Intersight is a cloud-based system management platform for Cisco UCS (Unified Computing System) and many other products which enables IT organizations to analyze, simplify and automate their environments. It is driven by analytics and machine learning to provide actionable intelligence for IT operations/management. You will be part of the team extending and maintaining the core messaging, persistence and other shared back-end services powering the Intersight platform. We create the product infrastructure that the application teams build on.

Your co-workers will be a group of dedicated Go/Java server-side developers and cloud/web technology architects. We are a close team who have decades of experience building infrastructure products and have earned a reputation within the company for on-time delivery of a quality product.

Your Impact

You will participate in the entire product life cycle, from requirement analysis to architecture & design, to code implementation, to functional and performance testing, and to training and support. You will also be encouraged to conduct research spikes to determine feasibility of new technologies or alternative designs and mentor more junior developers in good engineering practices.

A successful candidate will bring solid technical and development experience, including cloud native technologies. More than any other quality, we are looking for those driven by the challenge of solving unique and difficult technical problems, and those who are not afraid to dive into new territory (technical or otherwise), learn something new and bring the team along with them.

Minimum Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s in Computer Science or related field with 10+ years related experience
  • 7+ years of experience programming in languages like Go, Java or C/C++
  • Design, implement and maintain scalable event-driven architectures and data pipelines using Kafka with experience in SaaS enterprise software or cloud-based infrastructure and exposure to service-oriented architectures

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Master’s in Computer Science or related field with 5+ years of related experience
  • Experience designing and implementing software systems with high emphasis on scalability and availability
  • Strong analytical/debugging skills and knowledge in Data Structures and Algorithms
  • Experience working as a member of a highly distributed team (multiple time zones) and be versed in agile methodologies (Scrum, etc.)
  • Worked with MongoDB or other NoSQL databases

Message to applicants applying to work in the U.S. and/or Canada:

When available, the salary range posted for this position reflects the projected hiring range for new hire, full-time salaries in U.S. and/or Canada locations, not including equity or benefits. For non-sales roles the hiring ranges reflect base salary only; employees are also eligible to receive annual bonuses. Hiring ranges for sales positions include base and incentive compensation target. Individual pay is determined by the candidate's hiring location and additional factors, including but not limited to skillset, experience, and relevant education, certifications, or training. Applicants may not be eligible for the full salary range based on their U.S. or Canada hiring location. The recruiter can share more details about compensation for the role in your location during the hiring process.

U.S. employees have access to quality medical, dental and vision insurance, a 401(k) plan with a Cisco matching contribution, short and long-term disability coverage, basic life insurance and numerous wellbeing offerings.

Employees receive up to twelve paid holidays per calendar year, which includes one floating holiday (for non-exempt employees), plus a day off for their birthday. Non-Exempt new hires accrue up to 16 days of vacation time off each year, at a rate of 4.92 hours per pay period. Exempt new hires participate in Cisco’s flexible Vacation Time Off policy, which does not place a defined limit on how much vacation time eligible employees may use, but is subject to availability and some business limitations. All new hires are eligible for Sick Time Off subject to Cisco’s Sick Time Off Policy and will have eighty (80) hours of sick time off provided on their hire date and on January 1st of each year thereafter.  Up to 80 hours of unused sick time will be carried forward from one calendar year to the next such that the maximum number of sick time hours an employee may have available is 160 hours. Employees in Illinois have a unique time off program designed specifically with local requirements in mind. All employees also have access to paid time away to deal with critical or emergency issues. We offer additional paid time to volunteer and give back to the community.

Employees on sales plans earn performance-based incentive pay on top of their base salary, which is split between quota and non-quota components. For quota-based incentive pay, Cisco typically pays as follows:

.75% of incentive target for each 1% of revenue attainment up to 50% of quota;

1.5% of incentive target for each 1% of attainment between 50% and 75%;

1% of incentive target for each 1% of attainment between 75% and 100%; and once performance exceeds 100% attainment, incentive rates are at or above 1% for each 1% of attainment with no cap on incentive compensation.

For non-quota-based sales performance elements such as strategic sales objectives, Cisco may pay up to 125% of target. Cisco sales plans do not have a minimum threshold of performance for sales incentive compensation to be paid.
