[ale] Job in Seattle

[Lightner, Jeff]

EMC squared is typically just called EMC by most employees and customers so I think you’re talking about the same company.

Around here we have other choice names for EMC but that’s a long story.  :-)   Their service in recent years often made me think EMC was an acronym for:
Evidently
Meaningless
Customers

You are asking the wrong person.

The company is EMC^2 (that's EMC squared).

They provide (very) large file systems for large clusters and need programmers. Obviously petabye file systems are going to be distributed across multiple disc arrays on multiple machines in a cluster and, sometimes, spread out among multiple clusters.

I know they >mostly< use C, but that some bits and pieces are written in other languages, including C++, Python, and probably a half-dozen others.

If anyone has the requisite skills (or thinks he/she may have those skills), I can put you in touch with my son, who manages a team of software engineers. He is NOT a PHB.


I know that EMC (dunno about EMC2)  is looking to build some new petabyte capable filesystems that focus on storing metadata of several specific industries (bioinformatics is one of them).  Big data experience isn't as relevant for that.
