Job Title: Staff Software Engineer - vSphere High Availability

Broadcom is a global leader in semiconductor and infrastructure software solutions. As part of our commitment to innovation and excellence, our VMware subsidiary is dedicated to shaping the future of virtualization technology. The VCF's Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) is an intelligent workload placement and workload balancer technology that optimizes resource utilization across virtualized environments for efficient usage of the infrastructure. It automatically monitors and balances workloads across clusters by leveragingto migrate workloads. By joining the team, you will have the opportunity to work on our cutting-edge infrastructure workload placement and dynamic scheduling stack.

Job Summary:

We are seeking a highly skilled Software Engineer to join our VMware VCF's vSphere HA team, which is a critical component of our vSphere platform in VCF supporting VM and Kubernetes on vSphere. As a Software Engineer, you will be responsible for designing and developing algorithms for ensuring high availability of compute resources on the vSphere platform. The ideal candidate will have strong knowledge of distributed systems, operating system resource utilization as well as management control planes. The candidate will have the ability to take vague problems and decompose them into detailed requirements. vSphere HA is rapidlyto support modern workloads on the vSphere platform. vSphere HA is adopting to support for modern compute (hardware accelerators such as GPU's) which support modern workloads like AI Inferencing. If you have a passion for building scalable and efficient systems, and are excited to work on a critical component of a modern application vSphere platform, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and develop reliable mechanisms for multi constraint scheduling problems in a distributed system
