Microsoft is Hiring Go engineers to work on Kubernetes

<p>I&#39;m an engineer on the Azure containers team, formerly an engineer at Deis (which was acquired by Microsoft). We&#39;re looking for Go engineers to work on Kubernetes and related cloud/distributed systems. The job description is <a href="https://careers.microsoft.com/jobdetails.aspx?ss=&amp;pg=0&amp;so=&amp;rw=1&amp;jid=290815&amp;jlang=EN&amp;pp=SS">here</a>. DM me if you&#39;re interested.</p> <hr/>**评论：**<br/><br/>kevinjqiu: <pre><p>Do you guys still do stack ranking performance reviews?</p></pre>marstrMSFT: <pre><p><a href="https://github.com/marstr">MarStr</a> here, I work on the <a href="https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go">Azure SDK for Go</a> and have worked at MSFT for about four years.</p> <p>Stack ranking was done away with shortly after I joined as a full-timer. Now we have a system that just asks you to write a paragraph about your coworkers and rate from one to five their ability to get stuff done, help others get stuff done, and mentor others. I&#39;ve heard horror stories about stack ranking causing weird back stabbing and competitiveness, but haven&#39;t experienced anything like that personally now that it&#39;s gone.</p> <p>Edit: Adding links</p></pre>pmf: <pre><p>So, the short answer is &#34;yes&#34;.</p></pre>responds-with-tealc: <pre><p>I think the short answer is &#34;no&#34;. The replacement evaluation criteria mentioned is EXTREMELY common industry wide for peer review processes.</p></pre>kevinjqiu: <pre><p>Thanks for the reply.</p></pre>amerine2: <pre><p>Is your team remote friendly? If not globally, at least US or close timezone?</p> <p>Just for clarity:^I ^am ^not ^asking ^this ^because ^I&#39;m ^interested ⁱⁿ ^the ^job ^just ^curious ^about ^team ^composition.</p></pre>arschles: <pre><p>We are definitely considering remote for the right person! Many of the ex-Deis team is not located in Boulder.</p> <p>For anyone considering the job, but not located in Boulder, we&#39;re looking for people who can work on US timezones as amerine2 said. Also, expect to travel about once a quarter to Boulder or Seattle/Redmond.</p></pre>amerine2: <pre><p>Thanks for the follow-up. &lt;3</p></pre>ZoidbergWill: <pre><p>Last time I looked at Azure openings, they were mostly in the US.</p> <p>Job posting says the following so I assume not:</p> <blockquote> <p>Locations</p> <p>United States, Boulder (CO)</p> </blockquote></pre>joncalhoun: <pre><p>I&#39;ve never seen a job listing that says remote for MSFT but I&#39;ve been told they have them on some teams. No idea how you find those openings if you are looking though.</p></pre>newsagg: <pre><p>Generally you do your job for a while then someone determines that you can work effectively remotely. There is no direct positions that are inherently remote. </p></pre>joncalhoun: <pre><p>While this is nice for existing employees who want to transition to remote, it pretty much eliminates anyone who already works remotely from applying.</p></pre>kris-nova: <pre><p>I came in with the same acquisition and was astonished how Go and Kubernetes oriented the team is. It&#39;s really amazing to be honest.</p></pre>Removalsc: <pre><p>A little off topic, but did you give a talk at Gophercon about functional programing?</p></pre>kris-nova: <pre><p>He sure did! And it was great, I want to write everything in FP now!</p></pre>: <pre><p>[deleted]</p></pre>Morgahl: <pre><p>Videos will be out 2 weeks after then end date of the con.</p></pre>carlisia: <pre><p>Me too! Here&#39;s a little writeup preview of his talk: <a href="https://about.sourcegraph.com/go/functional-programming-in-go" rel="nofollow">https://about.sourcegraph.com/go/functional-programming-in-go</a></p></pre>arschles: <pre><p>FWIW, my slides will be up today as well. I&#39;ll post on Twitter (@arschles) when they are.</p></pre>gobijan: <pre><p>I was introduced to the Kubernetes source code by an Redhat Kubernetes Core Contributor. He showed me the nasty parts how they solved the lack of generics. Actually they use strings to concat valid go source code based on reflections. A little tedious but given the constraints for language choice they had (fast, compiled binary, close to the metal) I think Go is still a decent choice for Kubernetes.</p></pre>f2f: <pre><blockquote> <p>He showed me the nasty parts how they solved the lack of generics.

I work with Kubernetes (OpenShift) a lot now and I love the platform and really like seeing the community that has been built around it.</p></pre>furrypurpledinosaur: <pre><p>I like this job, would fit me well. Probably can&#39;t apply from Europe right?</p></pre>rat9988: <pre><p>Why wouldn&#39;t you apply and see the result ?</p></pre>arschles: <pre><p>We&#39;re considering remote employees, but you&#39;d have to work on US timezone hours daily. If that works for you, you can absolutely apply.</p> <p>I wrote up a little more about our expectations for remote employees <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/6o2lc3/microsoft_is_hiring_go_engineers_to_work_on/dkfruqx/?utm_content=permalink&amp;utm_medium=api&amp;utm_source=reddit&amp;utm_name=golang" rel="nofollow">here</a></p></pre>furrypurpledinosaur: <pre><p>I see. I live in London. What hours during US timezone do you need to work in? There seems to be 6-7 hours difference between UK and Boulder.</p></pre>vldo: <pre><p>I&#39;m really amazed at how complicated stuff can be at this hiring level.</p> <p>Even feedback seems like a burden.</p> <p>Please hire UX for the feedback area.</p></pre>gazarsgo: <pre><p>Turns out, getting someone&#39;s honest opinion when there are financial incentives at stake is actually a really hard problem to solve.</p></pre>TotesMessenger: <pre><p>I&#39;m a bot, <em>bleep</em>, <em>bloop</em>.
